Judge denies Gov. Hochul's motion to dismiss 2 lawsuits seeking reinstatement of congestion pricing

22 days ago

A judge denied New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's motion to dismiss two lawsuits seeking the reinstatement of congestion pricing.

Judge Arthur Engoron made the decision on Friday in Lower Manhattan and will now hold a full hearing.

Lawyers will ask the court to order Hochul to sign the final congestion pricing agreement.

Three months ago, the governor indefinitely paused the congestion pricing tolling program.

It would have begun charging fees to most vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street.

Passenger vehicles entering the zone would have been charged up to $15 once a day, with some exceptions.

The lawsuits claim that the governor's pause was illegal.

Think about this people pay taxes in New York and car registration plus gas’s tax but that is not enough for the MTA. It is time to audit the MTA to see exactly how the money is spent. If you ever get stuck on the GWB with all the trucks and cars for hours you will understand why I feel this way, an audit is needed with the MTA.

I always thought that the ones in charge are the elected ones, but I was wrong, the ones in charge are the ones not elected but the Judges.
