pretty sure nothing is written into law yet because it's still illegal in NYS.
i can't wait till NYS gets recreational legal.

Change is inevitable...
Yo that was a wild day
I remember it vividly because I woke up that day and SOMETHING told me to call out
I go back to sleep and a few hours later I roll over and check my phone...fukking Subwaypocalypse
There's a really simple solution for all of this:
1. Legalize Recreational - All NYC taxes on it go towards NYC infrastructure
2. RAISE TAXES ON THE RICH AND WEALTHY
WHY THE fukk IS JENNIFER GARNER PURCHASING A BROWNSTONE DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN FOR QUADRUPLE WHAT IT'S WORTH??
MOTHERfukk THESE CELEBS AND RICH fukkS WHO MOVE HERE AND PARTICIPATE IN TURNING NYC INTO A PLAYGROUND FOR THE RICH
And fukk DeBlasio too, I'm done with this clown. A fukking trolley line for the Western side of Brooklyn, meanwhile East Flatbush and the surrounding areas are a fukking two fare zone. GTFOH
I used to think the same but nah, fukk the MTA. MTA doesn't deserve a penny more until it's completely restructured because they haven't shown an ounce of competency. Andy Byford looks like he knows what he's doing (or it just might be the British accent) but I doubt he'll be able to change how MTA operates. The amount of money they receive from the city is unbelievable and now they want to give them marijuana moneyThere's a really simple solution for all of this:

So basically they get a percentage of everything that's taxed and it's still not enough.
25 tax and subsidy streams already
what do you think they will do with extra $1-2 billion from marijuana tax? Same as they've been doing with all other contributions 
This was an article from 2015, where MTA announced they had a $14 billion gap in it's 5 year capital plan
What NYC pays the MTA (it's actually far more than the state does)

How many tax revenue streams you gon give this bottomless pit before you realize they stealing money...
The MTA is a criminal organization, mob union affiliated to the gills...
We don't need to give them more money, we need to put on Mueller case on them...

Full funding not there yet but they do have plans drawn up to have the 2nd ave subway come up to 125th street via the 4,5, &6 station. Several new stations on 2nd ave along the way ( I forget exactly where but from what i remember tunnels are already in places for those stations)De Blasio’s bus improvement plan calls for 25% increase in speeds by 2020

Hold on I wasn't paying attention for about a week
So you're telling me that after 3 years of research Cuomo just walked through the tunnel and said Fu*k That Sh*t

If they call me to work the Canarsie tube, I’m calling in sick. Each and every time. The OG plan was much better and safer.

Right.
If they're only doing the simple patch work they've laid out how do they expect to keep these tunnels functional it makes no sense.
It's like what you would do to a pipe not a tunnel. Maybe they're just planning on new tunnels eventually
There's no foresight
