I just heard from Gary Walker. Here's his response: <br>
<br>
Chris, technically your reader is correct.

      <![CDATA[Mike, <br>
Here's the quote from Gary Walker, director of communications for the city, when I asked him about the funding: "The lion's share of it is from the New York State Department of Transportation." I'll try to get a breakdown from the city today.

      <![CDATA[I had the opportunity to visit two upstate train stations this past year, one in Utica and the other in Syracuse.<br>
<br>
The Utica station is a beautiful, old school station reminiscent of Grand Central. It even has pillars saved from the Grand Central renovation.

      <![CDATA["Richards says there's no telling what state officials will do with the project: they may start from scratch. Another concern is that the state will spend most of the money on improving the tracks, while giving the building short shrift."<br>
<br>
<br>
Given the poor planning, arrogance, incompetence, contempt for the taxpayers and ultimate failure  that has been the hallmark  of almost every city project since  the infamous Fast Ferry , it should be obvious to all that no matter how badly the state screws up the train station it has to better than letting City Hall handle the project.
