A joint New York State budget hearing devolved into a shouting match when a Long Island Republican challenged the MTA’s Hochul-appointed chairman over a $35 million security deal, questioning why contracted guards appear to be letting fare evaders walk amid claims the agency is rife with waste.

State Sen. Mario Mattera, R-St. James, sharply questioned Janno Lieber over a $35 million contract for private security guards at subway stations as the transit authority grapples with rising fare evasion amid higher fares for paying straphangers.

Wait, I thought public transportation was going to be free under Mamdani?

"It’s clear the MTA needs a full audit, and, now, so do its subcontractors," Weber said in a statement.

I'd say so.

I'd say so.

Only free to scofflaws and ne'er do wells.

Listen: unless a physical fight breaks out with punches and shoes thrown, ala South Korean politics, is it really a disruption?
