we are in service to the people of the mta. it's my job as the executive director to clear the path and to create the shield so that staff feel like they've got the resources and the protection, particularly the political protection that they need to do their jobs and that they need to take risks. the greatest joy that i have experienced in this job is not going to ribbon cuttings. the greatest joy has been watching the extraordinary leadership and skill development that i see in every corner of this agency, the pride that people take in their work and their willingness to experiment, their collegiality, their eagerness to break down silos. this is an agency that is truly dedicated to service. so it is with tremendous honor and deep humility and wistfulness, but also an overflowing heart that i. i find myself here with my term of service rendered complete, and that is also made possible by the fact that i am completely confident in everyone in this agency being ready to step it up, and most particularly our current director of

if we hadn't had that strike, arguably, we would not have created the mta and eventually refunded the transit system. but that course, that transit strike was mike quill's strike. he was the head of the transport workers union in a much more complex man that i think history gives him credit for. he really understood the subtlety of the changing political environment that of the things that lindsay ran and won on was. he wanted to end the old machine politics way of things lindsay in many ways was a candidate who wanted to reduce the of the public sector labor unions. one of the reasons the police didn't like him was he wanted police to work more hours at night. you know, very reasonable. an era of rising but he wasn't able to accomplish so just seeing how mike quill kind of saw this as labor's last stand against a technocratic governor in an that would become a a era more skeptical of labor unions and realizing if we go along with this will be going along for things forever. so he refused to go along and that's kind of when the split of weakening private sector unions and strengthenin

he was the mta's first leader. i mean, the was, you know, 12 years old or 14 years old by then. who actually had a he had enough capital built up in terms of being a credible person in going to the community, having personal wealth in that if he not get the political support that needed from the governor who appointed him, he could walk away from the job and going to business leaders, real estate leaders, financial leaders in going to the media and saying we need to enact taxes on businesses. so we can rebuild this subway system from decades of decay and neglect if we don't rebuild the subway system, we are not going to be able to rebuild our cities tax base from the decline of the 1970s. but many people it's not to take away from -- ravitch very real accomplishments, but he could not have done this if weren't for governor hugh carey. he could only be independent because let him be in dependent. and i think that's important for people to think about sometimes governor or mayor is just appointing having a broad strategy laid out in let them do they need to do to accomplish that s

to the mta chief. there is a basic calculation and politics.true. the basic thing people ask in an election, do you see me, and do you hear me? people are seeing things on television in the news media about what is happening in our subways. i think dana made it as well. early on, six months ago, they should have been beefing up security in our subway, letting people see their commitment and see the outcomes of those things that we are doing. maybe people wouldn't mind as much spending a little more, paying more. that is what it is going to translate into. we have not checked any of those boxes. i am a believer that politicians should swing for the fences. trying to solve something here. they have gotten off to a pretty bad start. the people who are supposed to benefit from this don't agree with this. the people who are opposed to this can even imagine let alone envision how they are going to benefit from this. we are off to a bad start. we as a city because i'm paying these taxes as well. make my subway savior. that will make me want to be more
