Road Rage

Governor Hochul isn't happy:

"I don't care if you love congestion pricing or hate it. This is an attack on our sovereign identity, our independence from Washington. And we are a nation of states," Hochul exclaimed. "This is what we fought for. This is what people like Alexander Hamilton and others fought for: to set up a system where we are not subservient to a king or anyone else out of Washington." Hochul's histrionics continued: "In the streets of this city, where battles were fought; we stood up to a king. And we won then. And in case you don't know New Yorkers, when we're in a fight, we do not back down. Not now, not ever. Because, who are we fighting for here? We're fighting for our residents, our commuters, our riders, our drivers, our emergency personnel." "I'm here to say New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years," she seethed. "We sure as hell are not gonna start now." As she spoke, Hochul held up a copy of Time magazine with a rather flattering image of Trump wearing a crown emblazoned on the cover. Without the toll, traffic will spike in the area once again, she warned. "The next time you're stuck in traffic, you’ll know who to blame." For now, Hochul claimed that the "cameras would stay on."

Drivers beware...
