Governor Kathy Hochul is reportedly considering postponing New York's congestion pricing plan, which was set to take effect on June 30. The plan involves tolling drivers entering Manhattan's central business district. This move comes amid concerns from Democratic leaders and potential lawsuits. If delayed, this could impact the financial planning around the initiative, including the issuance of bonds. Politico reported that Hochul is considering the delay.
People will be like “What’s any given politician supposed to do here??? Their hands are tied” about good stuff and yet when it’s bad stuff they are able to do something significant quite easily. https://t.co/5jYcLIys61

Bold Prediction: Congestion Pricing will be further delayed (elected Dems will quietly celebrate + hope accountability is delayed beyond Nov). MTA will cry that the legitimate lawsuits, that the poor-planning @MTA should have anticipated, are to blame. @rosannascotto @patkiernan
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA The MTA claimed Sunday the congestion toll will be a money-saver.
