Huh, I just looked it up, I guess the Mayor represents the five burroughs but you'd think Kings, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island would have representatives that represent them alone if Nassau, Rockland, Putnam, and Orange counties do.
Bizarre.
- bradleyjg 8y agoIt gets even more bizarre. Rockland, Putnam, and Orange get board members but they only get 1/3 of a vote each. Three different unions get non-voting board members, as do three commuter councils (which are in turn not membership organizations but made up of political appointees). I'm amazed they even manage to even get minutes printed with a board organized like that.
- codyb 8y agoYea I was checking it out and mainly focused on voting members for my post. Who knew? It's something I'd never even thought of until now. Seems like something that might be worth looking into as a New Yorker considering these fifteen or twenty people are making decisions that affect six million riders a day along with countless bridge crosses and ferry takers.
