  1. Someone in NYC had the great idea to introduce congestion pricing, to discourage car commuters. Seems like a good idea, no? The law was set to pass but...

  2. Someone in NYC forgot that about 40% of NYCs city center cops, are car commuters! Only 2.5% of city center workers are cops, and slightly under 2% of all workers would pay the congestion pricing. So it's a lot of cops driving in to the city center.

  1. Do I need to tell you what happened next?

@mekkaokereke and that's why she killed the whole plan ? Uber and Lyft cars were exempt, if the cops were threatening in some way she could have just given cops an exemption instead of trashing the whole thing. It's not like cops are beholden to any other car rules , they all get free NYC parking for their personal vehicles just by commandeering huge swaths of sidewalks.

I think she killed it just because she wants to get the outer suburban vote in the next gubernatorial election
