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. snip 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.
