So you don't think it's important for government agencies to be truthful and do basic fact-checking?
I love the new LGA terminal and I agree it is much-needed (except for the harebrained AirTrain)... this is not meant as a dig at the project but at Cuomo and other blowhard politicians who'd rather pat themselves on the back than work on the actual issues. I will also point out that the dysfunction of the OLD LaGuardia was only partly about the buildings, with just as much or more blame to the incompetent and/or corrupt management that let the place crumble, sweetheart contracts to concessions, janitorial, etc. Coming from Chicago, I know all the tricks... If those issues aren't addressed then in 30 years folks will be complaining about the "new" terminals.
