The plan was always controversial, but supporters have rightly pointed out that politicians need to act boldly, lest our society fail to meet its stated goals.

By channeling the very rhetoric of the toll's car-centric opponents, the governor has undermined her stated goal of improving the city.

I’ve said for years that there’s no smarter big-city public policy than congestion pricing and that New York is the place where congestion pricing can do the greatest good. Our combination of hellish traffic, excellent but underfunded transit to the central core, and commuters who place great value on driving guarantees it.

The news that Gov. Hochul is considering delaying congestion pricing will come as a shock not only to many New Yorkers, but to Gov. Hochul herself, who has been touting the central business tolling plan as "powerful" and "transformative" for the city.

Gov. Hochul signaled her support on Thursday for reauthorizing the city's tiny red light camera program — but stopped short of calling for an expansion of the decades-old program.

Higher fines for covering a plate and for not paying tolls are part of the budget deal inked on Saturday.

The bill, though imperfect, has been four years in the making.

The mayor and governor claim that they are finally going to crack down on "ghost cars." Plus other news.

The big news yesterday was that Gov. Hochul disarmed the National Guard of its long assault weapons. Plus other news.
