"Throw it over the wall" isn't the half of it. Last year, when a major snowstorm was forecast to hit NYC, Cuomo announced that the subways would be shutting down - without notifying or consulting the MTA or city government. This threw a wrench into existing plans for inclement weather, with the ultimate result being that trains ran empty along their normal routes until the storm had passed.
