BREAKING NEWS: Ben Prevents Doomsday

Dear Ben,

I just got the call. Moments ago, New York State legislators
voted to pass an MTA funding plan - the imminent transit
doomsday we’ve all worked so hard to prevent will not occur.

Tonight’s vote wouldn’t have happened without you. Your actions
combined with tens-of-thousands of other New Yorkers’ emails,
faxes, phone calls, meetings, rallies, letters, etc - together
they made a huge difference.

I didn’t want to waste a minute before telling you, but I will
be in touch tomorrow with more information on what this plan
will really mean for New York and what’s next. For now, doomsday
is canceled. Celebrate our achievement - together we will keep
New York moving.

Thank you again,
Michael O’Laughlin, Campaign for New York’s Future

I just received the above email.  MTA Fares will not raise to 2.50 or 3 dollars.  G service will not be cut in half, and the Z will not be removed from the system.

yay.
