New Jersey Senator Ray Lesniak — Senator Lesniak’s bill will “give commuters a voice and vote” on the NJ Transit board, which has gone 12 years without any dissent on over 800 resolutions.

LOSERS

Bronx Parking Development Co. — “Hope” for Yankee Stadium’s underused parking garages might mean filling them with cars from Manhattan.
