Jay H Walder 2

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 consider our view point. Our view as average New Yorkers of the MTA CEO and chairman Jay H Walder is that he should no longer hold his position of leadership and we are looking for change.

Anyone who aspires to hold a position in office wants to do good and help, especially if they are holding a position in the public office and the tax payers are their boss. That person is required to offer their best to serve the public without any hinderance. However not in the case of the MTA CEO and chairman Jay H Walder. 

His policies were aimed at hurting the general public in the name and guise of cost saving. He has not increased service, and he has not enhanced any service. Also he has not brought new equipment or created new jobs for average New Yorkers but for his buddies from England at no bidding contract of $200 an hour with expenses paid.

We in the main street believe it is time to have new leadership at the MTA in January. We suggest his golden sendoff package be tied in court and challenged based on the theory that he did not improve service or productivity.
