Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney: "Ten years ago, when we first started talking about the possibility of building a Second Avenue Subway, people scoffed. I have been championing the project in Congress...."
Maloney has been taking credit for a non existent Second Avenue
subway line on the campaign trail. Maloney lacks integrity at a fundamental level.
- In 1920 Maloney first came up with the idea.
- The Great Depression disrupted her work. Shame on the Great Depression.
- World War II disrupted her work. Shame on World War II.
- She got back to work after World War II was finally over.
- Every time Maloney tried to get down to work, the estimated cost went up, and so Maloney was perturbed. But she kept looking for fresh starts every few years for decades.
- 1972. Maloney was part of a groundbreaking, one of many it seems.
- In the 1990s Maloney got down to it again. Her enthusiasm was still at a high level after decades of false starts.
- Many steps, small and big, were taken all through the 1990s and the 2000s. Maloney would like to take credit for them all.
And now you know how the Second Avenue subway line came to be. Go take a ride. Enjoy. And sign the online petition that wants the Second Avenue subway line renamed in Carolyn Maloney's name.

Image via WikipediaAt least the Brooklyn Bridge exists. The Second Avenue subway line, have you been riding it? It does not exist. How ridiculous of Maloney to try and take credit for a non existent Second Avenue subway line that has been worked upon on and off since 1920?
