The town of Hempstead has initiated a federal lawsuit to halt the implementation of a congestion pricing plan, marking the first such legal action from Long Island. This lawsuit is part of broader resistance against the plan, which includes multiple lawsuits from various entities across 95 different incorporated villages. A significant development in one of these lawsuits is the denial of the MTA's motion to dismiss, indicating judicial support for the continuation of the legal challenges. The congestion pricing plan, set to commence on June 30, proposes a $15 daily tax, sparking considerable opposition and prompting fundraising efforts to support the ongoing legal battles.
Your reminder that New Yorkers Against Congestion Pricing Tax has an active lawsuit in the US Southern District to put the brakes on Congestion Pricing and to demand a proper EIS, which we hope to have court grant. Please consider donating, r/t and share. https://t.co/bGK0SGnsQ7

Good news on one of the Congestion Pricing lawsuits: the @MTA's motion to dismiss was DENIED. Please contribute to the lawsuit - donating $15 to the lawsuit to stave off a $15 daily tax is worth it. https://t.co/fEFQO5YrCR
The town of Hempstead has now filed a federal lawsuit in another attempt to stop congestion pricing. This is the first one out of Long Island, and @JennBisramTV spoke to drivers about having to pay up come June 30. https://t.co/qj8PV4Ks8W
Excellent news. Keep the lawsuits coming. There are 12 other town subdivisions on Long Island and 95 different incorporated villages. This unjust taxation plan should never see the light of day. https://t.co/lFPONRw9U2
