Bill, congrats on winning the democratic primary and I hope you will be our next mayor. That being said I am a lifelong NYC resident, hailing from the forgotten borough of Staten Island. In what ways does your administration plan on handling the hurdles that Staten Islanders have to conquer to get to Manhattan? As you may know all other boroughs have a direct subway connection to Manhattan, while we in Staten Island are still sailing the high seas to commute to Manhattan, or paying ridiculous bus fares ($6 each way). Is it not possible in the 21st century for there to be a better way for Staten Islanders to commute?
