Today I sent a letter to President Trump urging his Administration to reexamine New York’s congestion pricing scheme.

Congestion pricing is a disaster for New Jersey commuters and must receive the close look it deserves from the federal government.

Carbrain is the most powerful bipartisan issue out there.

He also left the 9-figure settlement on the table. He could have negotiated more but instead he’s cozying up to the fascist.

Way to go, governor!

Is this... is America doing the British government 2019-2024? Like, you have your own Dominic Cummings (Musk) and now you're doing the London congestion charge thing? Or do events like this naturally occur in whatever country Liz Truss appears in, like a shit Mary Poppins?

Weren’t NJ commuters already paying tolls to go across bridges to get into NY? $9 is really the straw that broke the camels back apparently.

The congestion pricing seems to have been a success and NJ is just bitter.

It was ten dollars to cross a bridge 20 years ago this is so funny

congestion pricing is needed to protect the rest of the world from New Jersey

... I only lived in Albany for a year and I swear the random hatred of New Jersey just never leaves ya. And my mom's family is all from Jersey!

I lived there for 6 years. No one hate NJ like a former resident

I am from Jersey and used to go into NYC to work and you know how many times I drove? Zero times. People don't drive in unless they have to anyway, this is so silly.

The Supreme Court decided recently that states can fan polluted air into other states without recourse—but this asshole wants to have power other neighboring states controlling their own carbon admissions.

Might be the best (ie worst) ratio in BlueSky history, although the Schumer skeet is coming on fast.

The one from the guy who said we can’t truly know if Musk made a Nazi salute is also pretty good. At the rate these ratios are accelerating, we’ll be having a major ratio event every five minutes.

Could really use an MP or IBCK podcast to dissociate into right now 🥲 this country is fuckin trash bro

I honestly can't remember the last time we had a governor there that wasn't mediocre at best. But this shit is NUTS.

What a fucking asshat.

I voted for him twice and I generally like Phil Murphy but there are times when he just can’t stop from punching himself in the dick. The fight over congestion pricing is done.

He's the same guy who didn't lift a finger to save Liberty State Park from developers who wanted to bulldoze a nature sanctuary to expand a millionaires-only golf course. (The community still got together and saved the park). This is who he's always been. Better than having a Republican, but barely.

I think there needs to be a tax for people from New Jersey whenever they leave the confines of their state.
