(The Center Square) — Environmental and transit advocates are taking New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to court over her 11th-hour decision to put the brakes on the nation's first congestion pricing plan.
                A pair of lawsuits filed in the state Supreme Court on Thursday allege that Hochul acted illegally by pausing the $15 tolls on vehicles entering Manhattan's business district. The new charges were projected to generate some $1 billion a year for public transit upgrades.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
