A tax on millionaires to pay for metro restoration work.
This is the idea of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, involved in a storm of criticism over the metro network crisis, which has caused delays and incidents, but above all complaints by travelers.
For De Blasio, the new tax will also enable the half price of subscriptions for those with low incomes.
But the mayor's initiative conflicts with the stance of New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo. They both crash for several weeks over the public transportation system, blaming each other.
A battle that has affected the political ambitions of Cuomo and De Blasio, two Democrats who aspire to run in the 2020 elections.
