Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s inconsistent stance on managing the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has become a major talking point in his current run for New York City mayor, as many Democrats who once demanded his resignation now find themselves too scared to oppose his political comeback., as records show a pattern of both taking control and denying responsibility for the transit system.
According to Politico, during his time as governor, Cuomo showed two different faces when it came to MTA management. He involved himself in detailed decisions, from choosing subway tile colors to spending $250 million on decorative bridge lights, while at other times claiming minimal involvement in the agency’s operations.
