Andy Byford must be too busy scraping gum from underneath a bench to comment on safety issues plaguing the 7 line. Mayor McSleaze is too busy running for president and defending his wife who is siphoning hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on her bogus mental health initiative. There have been shooting, slashings, and sex assaults on minors. But it’s safe. The roaring 80s are back!
