State Senator Alessandra Biaggi: “Instead of spending $249 million on a new police force, the MTA should increase bus and train service or make much-needed repairs to our ailing public transportation system. At a time when the MTA is already operating in the red, spending millions to hire more police officers is nonsensical and will just contribute to the over-policing of low-income New Yorkers and communities of color.”
