\n New York\u2019s top Republican officials agree: Congress should send the Metropolitan Transportation Authority another $3.9 billion \u2014 for the good of the city, the region and the nation.<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t say so, but we can: It matters for the GOP, too.<\/p>\n

A functioning MTA is vital to the city\u2019s future, and the city remains a key to the nation\u2019s economy. But the pandemic devastated the agency\u2019s revenues even as it imposed new costs; it can\u2019t possibly get back in the black this year.<\/p>\n

For these reasons and more, Reps. Peter King, Elise Stefanik and Lee Zeldin and other elected Republicans from across the state, including the GOP leaders of the state Senate and Assembly, wrote US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell last week, urging him to back\u00a0new federal funding.<\/p>\n

A certain Queens boy knows the need, too: In support of the last round of federal aid to the MTA, President Trump tweeted that the money was \u201ccritical to keeping essential personnel moving and aiding\u201d New York City\u2019s recovery. A second round is as\u00a0critical.<\/p>\n

Cynics suggest that Washington Republicans don\u2019t need to care about a heavily Democratic city and state, especially as they can blame Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio \u2014 and their bickering \u2014 for New York\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n

Sorry: GOP figures come here to fund-raise all the time \u2014 and several swing House seats in this state are vital to the party\u2019s hopes of ever taking back the House.<\/p>\n

Most important, though: It\u2019s the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

Gotham is a key engine of the national economy, and so a key to getting America growing again. Let the city\u2019s mass-transit agency rot, and the whole nation will suffer.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
