The MTA approved a $12.6 billion budget yesterday with a $68 million deficit. Which is part of why it again voted not to spend $20 million to restore some previously cut services.

Bah humbug. In a 7-2 vote yesterday the MTA finance committee voted yesterday not to restore services cut last year. "It would just be suicidal," explained the acting chairman and head of the finance committee.
