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'.

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.

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

I am not a smart person.....

This works by tagging license plates, right?

What happens if the plates are covered, say by mud or snow?

Paraphrasing the buck-tooth, horse faced, Botoxed douche bag

"we in NYC are going to tax all of you for driving into the city. Weather you use the city or not, the MTA needs funds because we, the legislature, spent all your tax dollars on illegal aliens. So I will charge you $15 to drive into the city. However, because of push back and bitching from all you freak'n peons and because there is a election coming up, Im going to suspend the tax. Your welcome.

But now that you dumb fucks re-elected me to the dictator-n-charge, you will be paying a congestions tax to come into MY CITY. However, Im not unsympathetic to everyone economic plight. So instead of 15 bucks, Im only going to charge you $9 because as dictator-n-charge, Im all about saving you dumbass peasants money. So just pay the damn fee and shut the fuck up. of course, your other option is to simply get the fuck out of my state, go to Florida or someplace they appreciate tax payers. You stupid MAGA cultist.

I just received an email about the prices today for some reason and it’s between $9 and $2.25 depending on if it’s peak time or not. This is per day so $9/day is a lot of money.

There's your basic stupid, then there's democrat stupid. Then there's the paramount of stupidity, Horchul stupid. She is forcing commuters and NYC residences to take the subway. The NYC subway is more dangerous than a San Fransisco bath house is to a straight guy.
She should follow Justin Castro Trudeau's lead and vacate. She is more unfit for office than he ever was....and he sucks.

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

Ruining the economy is a feature now that Trump is coming into office.

You don't think those lockdowns were about controlling the virus do you ?

They were about punishing the voters for considering Trump.
