George Pataki must be getting a percentage of this

...Or else he must be really, really dumb. After spending tons of money on a light-rail link between Howard Beach, Jamaica and JFK airport, he now decides we need a one-seat ride between the airport and Manhattan.

This would require fixing an existing tunnel to deal with the different rolling stock, or building a new tunnel under the East River to the tune of $6 billion. Had they just run an LIRR spur from Jamaica instead of using a completely different type of train, this wouldn't be a problem.
