Building on early indications that Governor Paterson plans to further the legislative agenda of his predecessor and nurture a positive relationship with Mayor Bloomberg, the new governor announced today that he is supporting congestion pricing.
Mr. Paterson said that he would support the traffic reduction bill that the mayor has lobbied for at Albany over the past year.

Even with the governor's support, many lawmakers in Albany have already said the plan, which would charge most drivers $8 to enter the area of Manhattan below 60th Street, has little chance of passing.

$10.00 to enter your city and then $8.00 to visit your store!
sigh. the hooker was cheaper.
I think this tax would greatly benefit Dallas and Houston.
You have to be out of your mind to drive into Manhattan anyway. Much better bet to take the train.
I see NY City declining as America’s city!
I see that you have already been indoctrinated!
It’s a take hike isn’t it? Of course Patterson is going to support it!!!
BTW, even if Patterson turns out to have been visiting Kristen as well or he has an underaged girl currently carrying his seed it will make no difference to NY Dems. They are going to keep him alive politically until the end of this term because the alternative is to give the Statehouse to the GOP and that is far, far worse to them than having a lying, cheating, illegal campaign funds using scumbag representing them and the People of New York.
Boy, don’t the dems have a lot to be proud of these days.
Meanwhile Democrats that have no morals are running NY and NJ!
Typical
Then I’m going to telecommute 60-80%. Tolls on the 161 GWB highway are already high.
I want the rest of the State to charge a 20 dollar fee to let New Yorker’s leave the city.
And New Jersey and Connecticut too. Waived if you can show a drivers license with address outside the 5 Communist Boroughs.
