Are you kidding me?

President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday ordered a halt to New York City’s congestion pricing system, which thins traffic and funds mass transit by imposing high tolls on drivers entering some parts of Manhattan.

Launched on Jan. 5, the city’s system uses license plate readers to impose a $9 toll on most passenger cars entering Manhattan neighborhoods south of Central Park. In its early days, transit officials say the toll has brought modest but measurable traffic reductions.

    You know…I kinda think it’s time we tell him to pound sand. Fucking seriously, who’s going to enforce it? The defunded letter agencies?

      Just add it to Mayor Adams’s quid pro quo list. Much like I bet he’s going to run for governor on the “I’ll pardon Trump” platform.

      Probably, then when they don’t they’ll blame those agencies, I’m not sure why else other than to create divide.

      Enforcing the congestion pricing does take people and money. I’m not sure how much NYC was getting from the feds to do this but it’s probably something.
