Congestion pricing in New York halted: Why you should be angry.
New York politicians are at it again—and by at it I mean they’re pulling off stupid self-owns based on weak, thin justifications. Kathy Hochul made the shocking eleventh-hour announcement that her administration would “indefinitely pause” implementation of New York City’s congestion-pricing program. Revenues from the program would then fund sorely needed fixes to New York City’s transit system. And considering how badly New York Dems botched the 2022 midterms, losing House seats that could have cut into Republicans’ narrow majority in the chamber, Jeffries would like to do anything he can to regain those seats—including mollifying the New Yorkers who own cars only because they make it easier to flee to the Hamptons. After all, congestion pricing wasn’t invented in City Hall just to demonize certain New Yorkers.
