Steve Fulop on Technology |
"We can do the same thing," Fulop said, adding that, rather than engaging in a "race to zero for both sides," he would rather see New York working with New Jersey on long-term transportation planning. Problem is, all of the revenues will be going toward New York, not to additional trains and infrastructure improvements in New Jersey.
This concerns Fulop. "There's a lot of different-type transit issues that are under-funded, not just the MTA," Fulop said, referring to the agency that oversees the subways.
Under the plan, drivers using the Lincoln Tunnel and Holland Tunnel would receive a credit based on what they pay in tolls. However, no break would be offered to motorists taking the George Washington Bridge.
"The Light Rail has been a tremendous asset for expanding economic development in Jersey City, where we are currently experiencing record construction and job growth that outpaces the state and the nation," said Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop. "A full expansion of the Light Rail into Bergen County, as well as on Jersey City's west side, would spur additional economic growth and create thousands of jobs for New Jerseyans. We thank Senators Menendez and Booker, as well as Congressmen Sires, Payne and Pascrell for recognizing the need to fund this important project and look forward to working with them to bring these infrastructure funds to northern New Jersey."
Target announced that a data breach had occurred between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, 2013 affecting roughly 40-million credit and debit card accounts, compromising customers' names, card information and security codes to hackers. While Target has reassured its customers that the breach has been resolved, it has not publically disclosed how the perpetrators managed to slip past its data security.
