The MTA on Wednesday said President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign imports are on track to add $1 billion to the price of New York’s new train cars and buses. gothamist.com/news/mta-say...

MTA says Trump's tariffs added $1B to cost of NYC's new train cars, buses

New York's train cars and buses are manufactured in the United States, but they rely on loads of components manufactured all over the world.

If you pay NJ property taxes (that is, if you live here--own or rent), you should care about this. When State Health Plan premiums spike, your taxes spike. Happened to me in Glassboro. Borough Council specifically cited their workers' health benefits to justify a big tax raise one year.

I get to post about it 1st: NJ finally voted to raise premiums for its State Health Benefits Plan. Expect another round in the death spiral. Gov Sherrill's campaign rec'd reference-based pricing (RBP): cap hospital prices at a % of what Medicare pays. Strangely, the legislature is not acting.

Republicans, in their infinite wisdom, left a big gambling loophole in the Medicaid work requirements. I'm no fan of the gambling industry, but if you are on Medicaid and struggling to deal with the work requirements, taking a $580 bet on both sides of an outcome is one way of getting around them.

NJT's low subsidy ended up with the agency raiding capital budget to pay for operations for YEARS. Guess what happens when you neglect long-term maintenance and equipment replacement? Also note the budgets have no inflation adjustment. 2024 budget is LOWER than 2020 when inflation adjusted
