New Yorkers are struggling with Hochul and Traitor Joe-chul.

She didn’t “ditch” the law. She put it on “pause”. In January 2025, after the November 2024 elections, she’ll end the pause and put the congestion pricing into affect. Her current move is not caving to anyone. She just knows her own Dim voters in Manhattan and the boroughs will be hurt by the dam thing.

“It puts the squeeze on the very people who make this city go.“

And yet until extremely recently you thought it a great way to soak the rich.

Judging by the conservative tone of this announcement I’d say the demons have gotten some very bad news.

Yep. They just voted in “Good Cause” eviction legislation which basically gives all private property rights to the TENANT and not the actual property owner. Want to buy and move into that house over there? Not if the current TENANT doesn’t allow it!

Personally, I don’t think Trump really will steal NYS from the Democrats column, however, it is more likely just to stem the bleeding. Either way, it’s forcing them to spend resources in the state they normally wouldn’t have to.

Exactly. If they were 100% confident, they would go ahead with the toll scheme because it wouldn’t matter, and AOC and others wouldn’t have cared about his rally in the Bronx.

These vampires will try to resurrect it afterwards.

The problem with this is that next year, 2025, is the NYC mayoral election.

So Eric Adams gotta somehow spread the good news pretty quick if Hochul pulls this stunt of reinstating this scam.
