Staten Island

James Giovansanti is supposed to protect New Yorkers, but endangers them with impunity.

Council Member David Carr has 12 speed-camera tickets, one red light ticket and one bus lane infraction since Feb. 2, 2023. But does he care? No.

This road diet is just what the doctor, or in this case the senator, ordered.

It's another classic from our national treasure cartoonist.

What's that expression again about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

Staten Island trauma doctors are calling on the State Senate to renew and expand New York City's speed camera program.

One of the more common excuses we've been hearing from local pols during the current MTA crisis is that "service never improves," so why bother to fund transit? Set aside, for the moment, the fact that subways and buses are moving way more New Yorkers than they did just a few years ago. Courtesy of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign, here's an interesting case study of service actually getting worse and why it happened.

Here's State Senator Andrew Lanza, a Staten Island Republican, explaining why he supports tolls on the East River bridges. For Staten Island drivers looking at a $3 hike in cash tolls to cross the Verrazano (or a $1.32 hike for locals with E-ZPass), the sight of other motorists getting a free pass into Manhattan must be a source of perpetual gall and resentment.
