They're asking for another $7 billion over a 10-year period. And I guess the editorial board at the Daily News are a bunch of old curmudgeons, too, because they are telling their readers to vote no on it.

It's no secret that hopefully I will be among the 46 percent or more who vote NO on Measure Q, and will keep voting NO until they prove that they can spend bond money frugally and not wastefully.
