[Saltwater60]

The timing is impeccable. What happened to this will ruin the economy or is this the plan with Trump now being elected.

Someone gotta pay for those boarder invaders / slush fund

Botox high eyebrow cunt...

That is all.

I called it, but amazed it happened just weeks after the election... Shameless these pols!

But the real evil is in the details! The State wants those who drove, pay taxes, fees, tolls already, to pay for those who don't use the roadways! Wants those drivers to bail out the MTA commuter rail! Totally dismissing the inefficiency and wasteful adminstration and management of the MTA Capital Program! Make up for the lack of enforcement on fare beaters! It's a joke!

Joke is on those living in this nonsense!

Years ago the State did the same thing and across the board imposed a new fee structure in registrations to pay for Bridge work, even if you never crossed a bridge or used a tunnel. Funny thing is they're mostly tolled roads to begin with... But hey!

This State is absolutely amazing how deep they keep sticking their arms into your pockets, way past their elbows, that's for sure!

A few more trips back b forth and I'm done here... And good riddance!

Getting out of New Yorkistan in 2018 (with the exception of my children still living there, and friends) was one of the best decisions made in my life for a host of reasons,- many of which are tied directly to NYS.

It was anything but easy as my feet were firmly planted in concrete. It was very financially painful, and emotionally gut wrenching, but in the end, it was the right decision. I had worked the same job for 40 years (as I watched NYS decline every damn day), and had owned and invested my heart and soul into two businesses. And I never even had a resume in my working career! Making the leap was emotionally terrifying. Kind of like leaping off a slowly sinking ship in the middle of the night to swim to a far off raft. Absolutely fucking terrifying.

But if I could do it, - you can too. GTFO, and leave New Yorkistan behind.

Fuck the high browed beaver toothed tyrant and all who do her bidding. Good riddance.

"This lower toll will save daily commuters nearly $1,500 annually, and that kind of money makes a big difference for our families," Hochul said.

How about no toll and commuters can save all of it? That sounds like it will 'make a big difference'.

Fuk NYC

Don't go there, and aside from if any of your live there, that fukkin city could be nuked and IDGAF....

 

[Bigfoot]

She's an asshochul

 

[GOPerfect]

Good for her. Hope she uses the extra funds for good, worthwhile projects.

Apparently, many NYer's are more than okay with this; they continue to elected the same people.

Must be an overabundance of money that the tax payers have.

 

[Tisto]

I say not only enact it, but raise the fee to $100 and then add $50 every year. Maybe sooner or later you NYC residents will get a clue and stop voting for retarded cunts like her.

 

[Bustedknees]

It's only a test. She'll hike the rates after it becomes just another normal NY tax.
Then she'll do it on the Thruway.

 

[livingston]

I believe no New Yorker should have to pay a penny more than absolutely necessary. … You heard that correctly. It was $15 before and now it is $9. That is a 40 percent reduction. This lower toll will save daily commuters nearly $1,500 annually. And that kind of money makes a big difference for our families
