N.Y.: Spitzer Is Cool to Pataki's Plan for a Rail Link to Kennedy
Spending billions of taxpayer dollars on new rail transit lines to airports is in vogue these days in some parts of the United States.
But it seems that New York State Attorney General (and leading candidate for governor), Eliot Spitzer, is less than impressed with the proposed $6 billion rail line from Manhattan to JFK Airport.
Maybe Mr. Spitzer should consider the European model, where train lines to airports have been financed, built and operated by the private sector, such as London's Heathrow Express and Stockholm's Arlanda Express?
