Thanks MTA, I'll pay my fare, I promise.
Can you guys confirm that all is quiet in your neighbor's apartment late at night? Is he really losing no sleep? No sounds of pacing or lights and TV on at 2am?
Oh wait, he doesn't actually live in your building -- how could I forget?
Marcia Kramer needs to head up to Mamaroneck to check things out.
Marcia Kramer has done the checking - here in the Bronx and in Mamaroneck. It's the Governor, the Senators, the AG, the Democrats, and all the others who are most likely being paid off to look the other way. How many times have we heard that Pedro is under investigation? If Marcia knows, the politicians should know.
If she knows more than those doing the so-called investigation, what hope is there for us?
AG Cuomo just stepped up:
