De Blasio’s latest MTA pick gets around with a city-funded chauffeur
|
[NYPOST] Mayor Bill de Blasio
 ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly...
’s latest pick for the MTA board skips the one-seat train ride just blocks from her house for a city-funded chauffeur to commute downtown, The Post has learned.
Department of Aging Commissioner Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez, who lives in Pelham Bay, gets the perk as part of her job ‐ and uses it virtually every weekday, City Hall confirmed Friday.
It was unwelcome news for transit advocates.
"It’s important for board members to be familiar with the system that they’re making decisions for on behalf of millions of riders," said Jaqi Cohen, a spokeswoman for the Straphangers’ Campaign. "They need to have an understanding of that daily experience."
A City Hall spokesperson insisted that despite her weekday car use, Cortés-Vázquez "has ridden public transit more times than one can count," and is a regular of the Bx12 and Bx31 bus lines, as well as the 6 train.
That presents a sharp contrast to Hizzoner’s other candidate for the board of the state-run transit agency: Disability Commissioner Victor Calise, who was heavily involved in the city’s work on subway accessibility.
Cortés-Vázquez’s resume also lacks any notable transit, engineering or construction experience.
"It’s like [de Blasio] gave up when making the decision," said a former de Blasio administration official said. "Not only does she not have any level of experience in mass transit, but she is also someone who does not use the system."
