Representative Josh G criticized the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) proposed Congestion Tax, which is projected to generate three times the revenue required by the state. He highlighted the additional financial burden it would impose on patients visiting Mount Sinai, NYU Langone, and New York Presbyterian, who will have to pay over $20 in Congestion Tax, on top of gas and parking fees. The tax is also expected to worsen pollution in New Jersey and increase traffic near the George Washington Bridge and Lincoln Tunnel. Gov. Kathy Hochul has proposed a 'fraud' measure in the new budget to combat toll evasion in response to the Congestion Tax.
Gov. Hochul will slam congestion toll cheats, so why not farebeaters (and other crooks)? https://t.co/aGWOQa477i https://t.co/bImVOe8uww
Gov. Kathy Hochul declares war against NYC congestion toll beaters with 'fraud' proposal in new budget- New Yorkers should sue the administration for this. This is just another way of stealing from the people. Pimping us to pay more money. Disgusting! https://t.co/Q6Z0mlf1Q9

My Congressional Report gives a detailed analysis of NY’s proposed Congestion Tax. The biggest finding: the @MTA is estimated to generate 3x revenue required by the state. The Congestion Tax is nothing but a cash-grab to bail out the mismanaged MTA. https://t.co/66b9LQBhEh
NY has admitted the @MTA’s Congestion Tax will increase toxic pollutants in NJ, lead to more truck & car traffic by the GW Bridge & Lincoln Tunnel, & whack truck drivers making deliveries to NYC. After years of mismanagement, it’s clear they’re just desperate for cash. https://t.co/v66tOaBlRb
The MTA is an absolute joke. These are repeated intrusions on infrastructure in the largest city in the country. The entire NYC transit system should be put under federal receivership. https://t.co/5yEELMO88C
The MTA is so desperate for cash that patients getting treatments at Mount Sinai, NYU Langone, or New York Presbyterian will have to pay the $20+ Congestion Tax — in addition to gas and parking to drive to their appointments — even though NY’s plan raises 3x more than required. https://t.co/SJZQICcLWB
