Hoping to talk some sense into the State Legislature, the MTA Board is headed to Albany—via Amtrak— to support the Ravitch Commission's recommendations, which include an 8% fare hike, tolls on East River bridges, and a "mobility" (or payroll) tax. So, if you're at Penn Station around 7:30 a.m. tomorrow and see a gaggle of media surrounding some folks, it'll probably be MTA Chairman Dale Hemmerdiner and other board members. And the Straphangers' Campaign is also heading up to Albany tomorrow.

What, no helicopter?
50 gallon garbage bag = budget cuts
