The Trump administration has just ended New York City’s congestion tolling policy. Congestion pricing scheme is nothing more than a massive new tax on working families. So Hochul is suing President Trump to overturn his decision. Suing to impose more taxes.
Once the greatest city in the world, New York, already the most tax burdened in the nation, is struggling. And New York’s one party Democrat machine is killing it. Systematically and deliberately.
“New York State’s congestion pricing plan is a slap in the face to working class Americans and small business owners…it’s backwards and unfair,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

The Governor of New York is now going to sue Trump in court to make sure she can charge New Yorkers $9.00 a day to drive in their own city.
And she is bragging about doing that.
Then Democrats wonder why they lost the election?

NY Governor Kathy Hochul brags about giving New Yorkers a discount on what the original fee was suppose to be for these tolls.
Just weeks after drivers started getting slogged with a $9 fee to enter Manhattan below 60th Street, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Wednesday he was scrapping approval, calling the toll’s financial burden “a slap in the face to working-class Americans and small business owners.”
But the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which administers the toll, quickly filed a federal lawsuit and vowed to fight back to keep the first-in-the-nation plan alive.

Gov. Kathy Hochul just showed up late to her own press conference on congestion pricing in NYC.
She was late due to traffic. Clearly her plan isn’t working.
Hochul tried to act tough in the face of the Trump regime which has ordered the traffic tax ended.
She came off awkward. pic.twitter.com/rOyYu1b3Jc

Kathy Hochul is suing President Trump, to overturn his decision where Trump removed her congestion toll on drivers.
Yes. *SUING* to impose more taxes.
In other words, a lawsuit for money that isn’t hers.Oh, and let’s not forget what she’s known for: pic.twitter.com/wj94AzBmCE

NEW YORKERS: “We don’t want a congestion tax.”
KATHY HOCHUL: “Yes you do, so we’re gonna put one in.”
NEW YORKERS: “No, seriously… we do not want one.”
KATHY HOCHUL: “Well… tell you what, we’ll make it $9 instead of $15. You’re welcome.”
TRUMP: “No congestion tax.”
NEW…
