Marcia Bystryn, NYLCV's President, will moderate a lively discussion on "The MTA Capital Budget -- Funding Challenges" at the League of American Orchestras, 33 West 60th Street, Fifth Floor, in New York City.

NYLCV President Marcia Bystryn will moderate the discussion on the MTA's capital plan and funding challenges.Organized by the Womens' City Club, the discussion will feature three highly distinguished expert panelists:

• Robert D. Yaro, President of the Regional Plan Association, America's oldest independent metropolitan policy, research and advocacy group

• Michael Horodniceanu, President of the MTA Capital Construction Company
  
  
• Charles Brecher, Executive Vice President and Director of Research for the Citizens Budget Commission

While it is easy to blame the MTA for these transportation woes, even a cursory second look reveals that the organization is facing financial difficulties influenced by the current economic situation like everyone else. Not least among the MTA's own woes are cutbacks in government funding.
