Mma Transportation Fees
One major issue in NYC, that I would love to address, is the rise of MTA transportation fees. The MTA, has been increasing their prices for years, and its time to try and stop it not only are the prices outrages and insensitive, it makes things harder not only for commuter but in-specifically students who travel around the city to get to their colleges/universities. Price hikes just make it more difficult than it already is to get to school and back. In my perspective, the MTA is a political and financial abyss. It is poorly managed and has god-awful labor contracts. The benefit costs alone are unsustainable. On top of that, the state government can add or adjust programs to the MTA but not necessarily fund them. It would be better if the

    USPS Assignment

    In an attempt to save the USPS I would make several drastic changes. First I would start by cutting back on the service days from 6 to 5, annually saving $3 billion a year. The con to this service cut back would be us losing a few customers that would want service on Saturdays, however this cut should not be made for our flagship post offices who have higher foot traffic on Saturdays. I would also immediately close the postal services that have low traffic and higher operational cost, replacing them with machines and drop boxes for customers. This action will help long term as the USPS start to invest in technology and transition to fit into a more digital society. Next would be to sit with the unions and restructure the compensation and benefits of our employees. Comparing the statistics of the amount of revenue used on salaries and benefits with our competitors, it is crucial to give our employees the option of a 20 percent pay cut or servence packages. The annual Health care prepayment is one of the larger expenses thought should be readjusted and paid by congress. It wouldn’t be ethical for congress and the government to continously wasting tax payers funds with bailouts if the short term solutions are’nt going to address long term financia delimas that may hit the USPS in the near future. Overall I would make the budget to include technology changes, debt, and cushion funds just in case a…

    La Bus Riders Case

    After many attempts within many years, the political and business leaders finally convinced the LA voters about the need to have a rapid rail transit system. They argued that the system was essential for the growth and development of that part of the country because it would reduce pollution and ease the traffic congestion ailed the city. The voters of the city eventually approved a 0.5% sale tax increase for the implementation of the said project. They later on approved an extra 0.5% sale tax increase to expand the project. The first face of the project was completed in 1990, the second one in 1995; but the project hid a financial-slug before the third face could be completed. As a result, the city raised the transportation fee from $1.10 to $1.35 and eliminated the monthly bus passes. The Bus Rider Union association brought a class action suit against the city metropolitan transport service citing discrimination contrary to the provisions of the civil rights act. The latter was grounded on the fact that the transport authority was building a separate expensive transport system for the urban rich. In the preliminary hearing, the judge held that there plaintiffs showed enough cause that warranted the defendant of prove otherwise. The parties, however, entered an agreement that allowed for an increase in bus fare and allowed for advantages to the bus riders. The advantages included monthly passes and reduced crowding in the busses. Those were held to be social needs that were the foundation of the…

    Partnership for Onondaga Creek Holds Meeting

    The partnership sent a representative to the I-81 meeting, who was asked to post comments on the public boards, regarding the future of the I-81, on behalf of the non-profit organization. As Peter King, the representative, was absent at the assembly, Aggie Lane conveyed his ideas. She said that King’s concerns revolved around insuring environmental justice on this issue. King told her that people living in the Pioneer Homes neighborhood of the South Side weren’t giving input to the state Department of Transportation and the Syracuse Metropolitan Transportation Council to decide what to do with I-81 at the end of its functional life in 2017. The reason being that both governmental agencies weren’t doing outreach to the South Side community, she added. Further concerns for King were that there was no health impact assessment of the alternatives to I-81. For instance, on the urban heat island effect of laying more concrete and asphalt where units of Pioneer Homes stand now.…

    Growing Up In The Bronx: Community Analysis

    Growing up in the Bronx and going to school in manhattan allowed me to see my community from a different lens. The neighborhood I would play I tag on its concrete blocks in the spring. Jumping into a fire hydrant cooling rain in the summer, playing jump rope with the current. It seemed like a quiet paradise away from the busy beehive that is manhattan. But to people outside of my bubble the Bronx was anything but a fun home to spend your days. Members of my community were labeled dirty,gritty, poor, deadly and any other name you could think about. For a long time it confused me why people thought of the bronx that way. I hadn't learned the history or baggage that folks that were older than me carried. I want to change how the bronx is viewed.…

    Campaign-Running for Mayor

    The city of Los Angeles has serious environmental issues and we need to pay more attention to that matter to fix it. LA could be a much more welcoming place if it wasn't for the pollution and vandalism. I believe that if we fund the environmental issue and encourage people not to pollute we could be an even more well known county. Wild animals roam the streets , the sidewalks are dark and dirty, walls are tagged all over the county and what do we do about it? To be honest, we do very little to nothing. With me in office I will do my best to make LA a safer, cleaner, and more attractive environment.…

    Community Disorganization Analysis

    As he pronounced, “The first step in community organizing is community disorganization,” (Alinsky) achieved by identifying the controversial issues upon which people feel most compelled to act. He felt that it is the organizer’s role to be an outsider who agitates the targeted group and then listens to the concerns they have. He then does what is necessary to get them to act on those concerns. Examples today that are high on my communities list would include out of control taxes, large numbers of low paid workers who have several part time jobs, but no employer paid benefits and a system that prevents the low income majority from having a voice. The election system is designed to prevent any candidate other than the two primary parties from gaining any real traction. Basically, they hand pick the two choices we have to vote on. Historically here in New Jersey all of the Governors over recent time have been bad choices for the taxpayer and great for others in power. What would motivate me would be doing things that make people from other states want to move here for quality of life, not just a quick buck. I would like to stay here in New Jersey, not look forward to the time I leave. Things that could be done might start with fixing the part time loop hole so business does not have to pay people benefits. I think this could work to remove people off of government benefits. In turn the businesses…

    changes for school

    Although we can’t magically make changes to the school, I would want to change the number of students at the school. With so many students attending Ferguson the help in the offices are so hard to get through. For example, when you need to go excuse your absence it looks like they are giving stuff away! Another problem with the massive amount of students is the little time we get to walk in between classes. We get five minutes to play a little game of football to tackle your way through people and get to your class that feels like its yards always! Dismissal is a mess with bumper to bumper traffic and crowds of students crossing the streets. Maybe with a few less people school before, during, and after, wouldn’t be such a hassle.…
