Investigating the chicom bribes should advance this quickly.

This whole debacle is utterly ridiculous. Drivers who don't use the MTA are being forced to subsidize it because about 48% of those who use the MTA buses and subway do NOT pay the fare. The MTA employees have been instructed not to engage the fare-beaters and the police don't want to risk their livelihoods, pensions and possibly their freedom by getting physical with a guy who simply jumped the turnstile in the subway.

NYC has essentially become a lawless society since 2017 and even more so since 2020. At some point, no one is going to pay to use the subway out of frustration of seeing so many people just blatantly ignoring the fares and the MTA budget shortfall will get even deeper. NY will soon need another funding scheme that punishes law abiding tax payers simply because the city/state does not want to enforce the rules, particularly against certain "communities" where fare evasion is most prevalent.

The Dems played this one smart. NJ was close in November, and this ‘Welcome to NY City’ scheme may have flipped the Leftists commuter vote and put Trump over the top if it started before the election.

The government is hostile to people being mobile because that is what allows people to lift themselves out of poverty.

If the Petroleum Producing companies would just STOP all Sales and Deliveries to New York to mitigate any future damages incurred by their new law, they wouldn’t have to worry about this.

Many people will just not go into the city. The restaurants, theaters, museums & stores will be the ones hurt and they are already stressed.
NYC continues to be destroyed by liberal policies. The best part is the officials allowed the MTA to devolve into a jungle of feral animals first and the MTA is not an option for a trip to the city, especially one that ends after dark.

Congress could block this, and Trump should propose it.

Just wall off, pour concrete, to all roads leading into Manhattan. Permanently.

Let ‘em all walk in and dodge the piles of trash.

Give ‘em two days — no food.

Judge is probably getting a kickback.

I don’t understand. How does this “congestion tax” increase pollution and kill people.
