Representative Josh G has filed a legal request demanding the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to disclose the calculations behind the revenue projections for the Congestion Tax, criticizing the MTA for its lack of transparency and mismanagement of taxpayer dollars. The move comes amid growing opposition to the Congestion Tax, with various public figures and politicians, including Bob Holden and Joann Ariola, expressing concerns over its impact and the influence of transportation and anti-car lobbies. Ariola has joined a lawsuit aimed at stopping the Congestion Tax, citing it as a disaster in the making and encouraging public involvement through an article in the @QueensChronicle. Additionally, an Op-Ed co-authored by Maria for District 6 and activist @susanleenyc in @NYPostOpinion criticizes the tax for potentially harming Manhattan residents, including non-car owners. Meanwhile, the MTA and Governor Hochul are accused of disregarding congestion and pollution issues, instead allocating over $22+ million for toll rebates in New York, which could encourage more driving into NYC.

And while you're at it, alarm bells should be ringing about how TransAlt and the anti-car lobby have DM Joshi and @NYC_DOT in a vice grip. Happy to team up with you, CM, to root it out! https://t.co/urXiYkkXTP
If the mismanaged MTA has proven one thing, it’s that they’re a black box where taxpayer dollars go to disappear. That’s why today, I’ve announced that I’ve filed a legal request for the MTA to share their calculations that went into the Congestion Tax’s revenue projections. https://t.co/bnUjdP68Uj
