This veto applied to the "lockbox" bill, mentioned in the post above, which would have required that the governor publish a transit "impact statement" whenever he takes money dedicated to the M.T.A. or other transportation authorities throughout the state and redirects it elsewhere. That bill had been sponsored by Republican State Senator Martin Golden and Democratic Assemblyman Jim Brennan, both of Brooklyn (See “In one week, Cuomo vetoes two M.T.A. transparency bills” by Dana Rubenstein, 11/14/13, This is How New York Works - Capital [http://capitalnewyork.com/article/politics/2013/11/8536022/one-week-cuomo-vetoes-two-mta-transparency-bills]).Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-11445023629895416732013-11-15T23:15:45.173-05:002013-11-15T23:15:45.173-05:00I said that I thought DA Hynes would out-poll the ...I said that I thought DA Hynes would out-poll the rest of the ticket. Although he underperformed by 10-15 points, so did the rest of the ticket top-to-bottom. <br /><br />I also criticized some of the negative stuff in the campaign, especially in the Greenfield district.

Even more important, before he jumped ship at the last minute, JK's favorite City Councilman David Greenfield was in the middle of a specialized variant of the race-baiting in the DA race that was directed at the Orthodox community.
