Jay H Walder 1

Dear Candidates for the New York State Governor 

Before you begin your first day in the office we write as members of the blue collar workers from the main street and we wish you to consider our view point. Our view as average New Yorkers of the MTA CEO and chairman Jay H Walder corresponds with that of the Nassau County Executive.

We would like to remind you that the Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano believes in the removal of Jay H Walder. Since labor day, “Taxpayers deserve accountability, and for that reason, I am calling on our gubernatorial candidates to pledge new leadership at the MTA in January.” Mangano Said. “This Labor Day, families sat around the barbecue worrying about how to afford to get to work because of Walder’s mismanagement,” he said. “Earning a $350,000 salary plus a generous housing allowance, Walder has taken taxpayers for a ride.”

Many other elected officials have opined the same about Walder, and we find his tenure full of malice and hostility towards the average New Yorker. 

• He has raised the fares which will take effect January 2011. Thus that would reflect negatively on the new governor.
• Select Bus Service along 1st and 2nd Avenues in Manhattan, the bus stops are confusing to distinguish between a local bus stop from the select bus station and are not separate in addition the outside metro card vending machine does not accept credit cards or sell metro cards.
