[@brianzuchelli2988]

Election year, thats why.

[@Working-in-NY]

Don't worry. Albany will make it up plus more on the new 10 cent deposit on pretty much anything that holds liquid.

[@BrianHassett-ih3jp]

[@joemama8379]

Of course it’s about the election in November. Lol

[@davidcarpenter7383]

People will get around anything you do

[@dhickman8435]

Putin will help you with that congestion problem and make America great again

[@durece100]

What's wrong with you?

[@wlombardo31]

That would be to easy. Not a bad idea. I am in ny and think that's the only way to stop that madness here. She's goes in front of us on the news and tells us she doesn't care what the law says.

[@durece100]

Don't make a ridiculous joke.

[@durece100]

I'm a pro congestion pricing suppoter and hochul need to un-paused the congestion pricing plan and stop with this nonsense.
