MTA Honchos Get Free Pass
Next time you see former MTA chair Peter Kalikow zipping around town in one of his four dozen Ferraris, take pride in the fact that little old you made his ride that much more pleasurable: It turns out that Kalikow and the other real estate fat cats who've served on the MTA's board are gifted taxpayer-funded E-ZPasses for life. Kalikow, whose outrageously huge Ferrari fleet includes custom-made numbers like the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, has eight freebie E-ZPasses alone; MTA vice chair David Mack, another real estate bigshot, isn't doing too bad for himself either with six. How to know which luxury vehicles to glare at to express your distaste for this policy? The gratis E-ZPasses are a limited-edition orange as opposed to the standard-issue white.
