Judges To Hear Arguments Over Transit Hikes

(New York-AP, June 10, 2003) � Lawyers representing the Straphangers Campaign and the Automobile Club of New York were scheduled to appear before a panel of appellate judges on Tuesday to uphold court rulings that ordered rollbacks of transit fares and toll hike rollbacks.
Judges of the Appellate Division of Manhattan State Supreme Court will hear the case in which reasons for raising subway, bus, and suburban commuter rail fares as well as bridge toll will be debated.

Supreme Court Justice Louis York, and later Supreme Court Justice Robert Lippman ruled earlier this year that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority misled the public about its financial situation when it raised the fares.

The MTA maintains that it met all the legal requirements in showing its budget outline and how it would close a $2.8 billion budget deficit.

The lawyers say they expect the appellate judges to take at least a week to render a decision in the case.
