    I don't. She's the one who delayed the implementation of congestion pricing because she was scared that the Democrats would lose some suburban votes. Were it not for her betrayal, congestion pricing would have been live for 6 more months, and probably built some more resilience against this attack.

    Contrary to the lies in the tweet, congestion pricing is not dead. From this article, for example:

    There was no precedent for federal officials to revoke approval for a major transportation project in New York, especially one that was working, said Michael Gerrard, a Columbia Law School professor who supports congestion pricing. He said he did not believe the federal government had the legal authority to halt the tolling program.

    “It is certainly not dead by any means,” he said. “Secretary Duffy has issued an order of questionable legality.”

    This is what I came here for. Like states rights let alone this a metro law, he has no standing rights to even think about this. I dont even think that the money is going to the feds in any way, so this is just outright overreach. Are the tolls still being collected or did they stop at the booths even tho the law still stands?

    He’s just going to bring it back rebranded and collect all the congestion penalties for himself.

    What an absurdly small crown for his head. If you are going to AI yourself as a king, at least fool around with the prompt until you get a crown that's the right size.
