well nassau has no choice. the county is hamstrung because of all the generous contracts that they gave to the county workers for years. Mangano needs to save money. Its sad for the 100,000 riders but mangano has to answer to the 1.5 million residents.

Public overwhelmingly OPPOSED to Privatizing Long Island Bus! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV-DQVi_oKs#)

Nassau Comptroller George Maragos gives his not so independent opinion on Veolia contract (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX0A3u7Tj3k#)
Veolia's Mark Aesch sells a NICE bus system, but the DEVIL is in the details (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzs61i_UcAg#)

I agree but my point is everybody is all over mabgano, when he has no choice. the mta demanded the county pay 3 times what we were paying or have half the service cut, now with veolia were paying less but the service for now stays the same. this is the best mangano can do now, lets see how it goes
