Brian Ler on WNYC, as most of what we're doing today is covering the indictment of Mayor Eric Adams.

I'm told that the indictment text was just released even in advance of the U.S.

Attorney's News Conference. So we are getting that together, and I will read you all

are parts of that. We'll see how much is there and how much it's legalese. But we will bring

that to you in just a couple of minutes, but we do want to keep our appointment

for at least a little while with somebody who's very relevant to your day-to-day life,

corruption charge against the mayor or no, and that's the MTA chair, Jano Lieber,

for among other things, an update on the agency's capital plan.

Yesterday, the MTA board unanimously signed off on the $65 billion

plan, despite Governor Kathy Hokel axing congestion pricing, or at least pausing it, just before

its implementation. Our region's public transportation needs massive repairs in order to continue

serving New Yorkers in the

subways, riding the buses on the Metro North and LIRR lines as well, of course.

And General Lieber joins us now to explain what construction money is necessary,

where it might come from without congestion pricing, and to take some of your calls.

So listeners, if you're hanging on to talk about the indictment of the mayor, we're not going

to take those calls right now.

We'll take a few phone calls for MTA chair, Jan O'Leiber, about anything relevant to mass

transit, 212, 433, WNYC for you,

212-433-9-692, call or text.

Chairman Lieber, always good to have you on the show,

and we always appreciate that you come on
