The price of environmentalism has always concerned conservatives, but now even New Jersey Democrats are getting upset about the costs on taxpayers under the guise of helping curb emissions.
Federal transportation officials have green lighted New York's plan to charge escalating congestion tolls for drivers entering parts of Manhattan and New Jersey Democrats are "outraged," Politico reported.
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Reps. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., and Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., expressed their disappointment the Federal Highway Administration has allowed the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority's congestion pricing to go forward without more review and environmental studies.
The MTA is considering fares ranging from $9 to $23 for passenger vehicles and $12 and $82 for trucks, according to the report.

New Jersey?
The same idiots that voted for a gas tax increase on themselves - twice - in order to “stick it to out of state drivers” and the tax increase was sold as ONLY targeting out of state drivers?
That New Jersey?
Simple. Boycott.
” ONLY targeting out of state drivers?”
Sometimes there comes along something that really just sums up a situation....
....is a mental illness .... fo sho
Sounds like the MTA is needs more cash, and since thanks to BLM they can't stop fare jumpers, increased in remote work and combined with the increased violence on the subway they figured they would go after cars.
Another reason to work from home.
I remember seeing it on a tv while eating a gutbomb burger, I scoffed at it magically targeting out of state drivers.
NJ resident told me it would be magical and wonderful.
Mental illness definitely.
Jersey.
And not have "Home" in New Yawk or New Joisey, ... ever.
Or was it three votes?
*Lol*
Still shaking my head over it.
” magical and wonderful.”
must be BRAIN freeze ...
you know like when you eat ice cream to fast ...
leftys seem to get a lot of that.
Well, NJ has a history of getting conned when it comes to taxes.
Governor Burns said “if you let me have an income tax I’ll do away with the property tax.”
Yeah, that turned out well.
So ...environmental factor..?
chemicals in the water ?
To much global warming ?
or ....
to much ice cream?
Bidung eats a lot of ice cream....
polousy eats a lot of ice cream ...
hmmm...
ben and jerrys makes a lot of ice cream....
Am I seeing a trend here?
Do southerners get BRAIN freeze from ice cream at the same rate as northerners?
hmmmmm .... People are always eating ice cream in calipornia too.
I think somebody needs to look into this a little deeper..
the ICE CREAM connection...
It’s the Democrat voter mindset. They are unable to connect the sh!t government that they voted for with their votes. They vote Democrat because Republicans are bad. They know this because the Democrats told them this. So if Republicans are bad then Democrats must be good and gosh that stupid stuff that the government does just doesn’t compute in their minds. I believe it was mark Twain who said it’s a lot easier to fool someone than to convince them they’ve been fooled.
So your saying it's not the ice cream...? brain freeze ?
That there is something deeper more complex .. a combination of indoctrination, peer pressure, and a limited world view.
And it makes them susceptible to propaganda and authoritative views. A lack of independent thought that relies on the “experts”for direction.
hmmmmm ....... interesting theory ......
naaaaawwww ... it's gotta be the brain freeze ...
You get what you vote for.
They should not only enthusiastically support this “congestion pricing” initiative for NYC … they should beg the MTA to impose a fee of a million dollars to enter NYC instead of just $10 or $20.
Every major company in Manhattan would be looking to relocate across the river to New Jersey … and the state would stop losing all the income tax revenues from residents who work in New York.
Eating each other, luv it
On a related note, he was a New Jersey resident.
As kids, we used to bike to Yogi Berra’s house for autographs. The recent documentary about him is great.
