No track work for John

Adding to the recent insults the MTA has thrown at Councilman John Liu, chairman of the council transportation committee, now an aide says, the agency isn't allowing him to spend the day as a transit worker.

Last August, Liu announced he would spend the day as a track worker to learn more about the life of every day New Yorkers. The idea -- from former Sen. Bob Graham -- would have Liu perform a different job once a week. But, Liu's aide says he was refused entry to the subway. The aide suspects he lost permission as soon as the authority realized Liu was a) working the TWU Local 100 b) going to invite the press. So, it doesn't look like John'll be working on the railroad any time soon.
