There is no way the non-white underclass in NYC was ever going to tolerate this.

[kearnyirish2]

“the proposed charge would be imposed at all Manhattan points of entry below 60th Street”

Cool...a “virtual wall”.

[KosmicKitty]

Places I won’t be going. Hey, Andy, good luck with that.

[foreverfree]

Bump

[antidemoncrat]

The Democrats poo poo when Republicans accuse them of “All they can do is tax and spend” and then turn around and just do that.

[Redcitizen]

Something tells me I’ll never visit New York City.

[Bonemaker]

Attaboy, stick it to those dumb NYC democrat voters...you have my blessing.

[Doogle]

...just another tax....and they wonder why people are pushing back...yeah,Cuomo’s that stooopit

[dinodino]

They could’ve had all that dough from Amazon...

[headstamp 2]

Businesses need to begin pulling out of NYC.

They are bitching about losing Amazon and then turn around and try to ram this through again.

The answer to everything with liberals is to raise taxes and fees.

Wonder how this is going to go with the trucking industry. Already, the industry is facing a shortage of drivers, and things like the Electronic Log Devices are pissing them off more. Pretty soon, some companies are just going to discontinue delivering products into places NYC and CA altogether.

Think of all the specialty shops and restaurants that rely on food coming in from outside the city. So, they're going to raise their prices even more.

I'm so glad I live out in the country.

Getting in and out of Manhattan from 4-730 is just nuts. I’ve had trips from Midtown to LGA take over 2.5 hours. I unfortunately have to visit NYC about 10-15x a year for work.

If this goes through, I would like to see NJ charge NY vehicles a $20 daily surcharge to use the NJ Turnpike or the Garden State Parkway.

ML/NJ

[wally_bert]

Glad Broadway isn’t my beat.

Never been to NY and no desire to go.

[tomkat]

Been there a couple times, the last a few days after 9/11 .. no intention of ever going back.

Numerous individual exceptions notwithstanding, NYC is as much a nest of sedition today as it was during the Revolutionary era.

The rich live above 60 st. The middle class will suffer because they live below 60 street.
When a cab or uber cross 60 street will the passenger have to pay that congestion fee?
Why did he pick 60 street as the cut off street? Does it have anything to do with the location of Trump Towers? What a unique way to keep track when that family comes to town.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

The city has reached the point where the only way to increase revenue is to lower taxes. Just try convincing the libs of that.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

The Democrats poo poo when Republicans accuse them of “All they can do is tax and spend” and then turn around and just do that.

Republicans poo poo when you give them Milk of Magnesia.

[BenLurkin]

Who?
