00:00You may have seen some recent headlines about transportation costs for World Cup games in New
00:04Jersey. So let me tell you exactly where things stand. Our administration inherited an agreement
00:12where FIFA is providing zero dollars for transportation to the World Cup. Zero. That
00:19leaves New Jersey Transit with a 48 million dollar bill to safely get 40,000 fans to and from every
00:26game. At the same time, FIFA is making 11 billion dollars off of this World Cup and charging fans
00:34up to $10,000 for a single ticket for the final. I won't stick New Jersey's commuters with that tab
00:41for years to come. That's not fair. So here's the bottom line. FIFA should pay for the rides,
00:47but if they don't, I'm not going to let New Jersey commuters get taken for one.
