Bad News For Commuters

Well, looks like the assembly has killed the Congestion Pricing Plan for Manhattan. This is really too bad. Manhattan needs incentive to reduce driving in the center city. Manhattan also needs more revenue for public transport. This would have helped both. Sadly, it's not to be.

Even more infuriating, The assembly refused to even hold a vote. There's no way for constituents to hold their legislators accountable on this issue. That's very frustrating since this issue is one of the most important issues for city residents in the last 5 years.
