Mayor Bloomberg wins re-election; Proposition 2 passes
Posted by Dominic Basulto
As expected, Mayor Bloomberg had an easy time of it at the polls yesterday, trouncing Democrat Fernando Ferrer 58.5% to 38.7% - the widest margin ever for a Republican mayor of New York.
In addition, a $2.9 billion bond act that will finance transportation projects statewide - including part of the Second Avenue subway and a link between the Long Island Rail Road and Grand Central Terminal - was approved by New York State voters yesterday. $450 million of the money will be used by the MTA to finance construction of the first segment of the Second Avenue subway (East 63rd Street to East 96th Street).
