Informing Wantagh and Seaford Commuters How to Fight Proposed MTA Fare Hikes

Senator Fuschillo and Assemblyman McDonough talk about online petition and upcoming hearing.

State Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) and Assemblyman Dave
McDonough (R-North Merrick) recently visited the Wantagh and Seaford Train
Stations to inform residents how they can fight the MTA's proposed LIRR
fare hike.

Senator Fuschillo and Assemblyman McDonough informed commuters about
their online petition against the MTA's proposal to raise LIRR fares by as
much as 9.4 percent. Senator Fuschillo will be presenting the signatures
collected through the online petition to the MTA Board of Directors at a
public hearing they will be holding on the issue on September 16.

Residents can sign the online petition by visiting Senator Fuschillo's website, Fuschillo.nysenate.gov.
