Let's See ... How to Close MTA Deficit ...

Removing boxes of documents from Jackson's home

At a time when the economy is struggling and the MTA is threatening fare increases, we have the case of Jacqueline Jackson, MTA employee.
Allegedly, Ms. Jackson, who raked in $80K annually for doing God knows what, submitted bogus bills for fictitious companies to the MTA and collected at least $1.5 million.
Jackson had most of the documents shredded, but some were removed from her Brooklyn home.
Now I'm no financial wizard or CFO, but I suspect that even if Ms. Jackson is found not guilty, there are more than a few MTA employees doing the same thing even as I type this.
The MTA needs to police its staff and leave no stone unturned for the scam that is fattening the pockets of the employees while the pockets of the straphangers are emptied.
