<i>how can we keep the system running with the atrociously-limited amount of money we get from the state</i><p>I&#x27;ve been saying for a while that NYC should cecede from New York State. We send more money Upstate than they send down, and in return we still aren&#x27;t allowed to run the socialist utopia most city residents actually want. Make the mayor a governor, and we&#x27;ll have a noble experiment on our hands.
