Poll: Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the L train and the MTA

Over the weekend, Robert Mujica, the governor’s budget director, asserted that Gov. Andrew Cuomo does not control the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

“The Governor will step up, even if not politically in his own best interest,” Mujica said as part of a lengthy statement issued on Sunday. “But the Governor is not going to represent to the people of the state that he is responsible for the MTA when he isn't.”

Of course, many outside observers disagree. So who’s right? We’re posing that question to our politically informed readers – along with a couple related questions about the governor’s plans for the L train and his goal of implementing congestion pricing in Manhattan to help fund subway upgrades.
