Here's what NYC is losing because Hochul killed congestion pricing. Look at all those ADA accessibility upgrades!

There’s a good lesson to learn here about also calling your reps for the programs you like instead of just the ones you don’t like, but now’s not the time for that. Hochul’s phone lines opened five minutes ago and it’s time to call again. (518) 474-8390 is the number to let her know this sucks.

This is the shit that makes me maddest of all. Especially after all the concern trolling from congestion pricing opponents.

Been told all morning that the millions of people that rely on this system count less than the handful of people who might want to drive into Manhattan & whose hypothetical votes apparently hinge on whether or not that trip costs $15 or not

legally, can they kill the ADA upgrades? I thought they were under a consent decree

There’s a lot of “can she actually do this?” questions floating around this

as an outsider to NY politics I would view this as a big brained move to actually turn NY voters *for* congestion pricing if it weren’t for the whole LaSalle thing

she's just not that smart or savvy, tbqh

Honestly, what kind of idiot DRIVES into Manhattan anyway? It’s the absolute worst way to get around there.

I'm not in NYC so I knew everything was caught up in this, repairs and bus improvements and ADA stuff and 2nd Ave Subway etc but damn, CBTC stuff as well?

Does only the bad stuff about hochul get out of the local sphere of news? Or is she just bad at her job?

Actually very bad at job yeah

Thanks. And that's too bad.

I understand it is the Governor's job to make tough decisions. But first, learn not to screw up the easy decisions.

Serious fuqup on Hochul’s part.
