I’m still hopeful she’s waiting until past the cutoff date to avoid a special election, which her malevolent sex pest former boss would almost certainly win
If people wanna sit in traffic, let them sit in traffic and collect their tolls. New York isn’t even the most congested city have you seen South Florida traffic or Atlanta traffic? Give me a break stop hitting New Yorkers like they have never ending money for BS.
Dems are on the wrong side of this. Less traffic means less bridge and tunnel tolls and no congestion toll so there is no additional revenue - the revenue they claimed justified the program. It’s a fraud. They’re being untruthful. The more they fight them more ridiculous they look.
Not disputing that. The Dems are on the wrong side of this and never should have supported it. It is deeply unpopular, particularly for city and essential workers that have to pay every day just to go to work. It is deeply flawed, and the premise is laughably indefensible.
Perhaps it’s deeply unpopular upstate, Steve. It helps the congestion in the city and provides funding for mass transit, which benefits everyone. City workers can take mass transit like everyone else.
I respectfully disagree because if decreased volume reduces revenue from tolling - as it has. So there less funding to dedicate to mass transit. That’s the very problem, the premise is flawed and illogical. Also not everyone has access to reasonable mass transient - I’m 30 miles out and don’t
If they’re taking the train instead of driving - as increased ridership data shows - which raises revenue for mass transit. It’s not just from the tolls. And you can’t drive to a train or bus near you? This benefits the city. I’m sure you would want to tackle congestion in your neighborhood
Then let the voters express their displeasure at the ballot box. At this point, every decent American should be protesting Trump's dictatorship, whatever the relevant issue.
I hear you, but I think that causes a credibility issue that the Dems can’t afford. He has them on the run they don’t even have a cogent message - so it looks ridiculous when you’re chasing unicorns.
On the upside: the city is nice. And tolls/people will adjust their use to the optimal level for both toll fees and driving, now with a clearer focus on the full costs/benefits
The MTA has real issues that have never been addressed. That’s what should be worked on stop perpetuating the problem and treating the outcome of the illness not the illness itself.
People live in the city, and it should be a nice place to live for them and they should have a say about economic costs that materially affect their quality of life
Oh, come on now. As if they didn’t know that going into it and they don’t have a choice to move out. Don’t try and we make the city for your own purposes that’s really disingenuous.
Trump hates the fact that NY didn't vote for him and have taken down his name on every building that leased it. He's not making any more money off NY'ers.
I'd need to double-check this, but I'm pretty sure most of the people driving to work in Manhattan are from Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, and New Jersey
Trump always trolls with an outrageous post--to deflect media (and public) from other criminal things they are doing.
Just like a dog and a squirrel---the media amplify these posts--every single time.
why?

I’m proud of that vote right now, even though I live 5 hours from Manhattan.
Now I am disappointed.
But I will happily have stubborn Hochul pushing back
