I sort of agree with this. I wonder could anything get done in new york state politics without this kind of list of "moneygetters." So long as the good outweighs the bad, it might be ok. Although, I don't know if the good outweighs the bad. I do generally agree though that if it can be done with criteria for getting money instead of an upfront list of who gets money, that would be preferable.
I think it'd be a good idea to spell out to new yorkers just how these "immediate improvements" would immediately benefit them in such a way that they'd like overall effect of this bill. Tell me how getting from Brooklyn to central park west will now be better with the immediate improvements than with my car. Give us a bunch of cases that apply to all types of new yorkers. I think that'd help a lot.
