NEW YORK - Mayor Bill de Blasio is pressuring the MTA to implement congestion pricing that would charge drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street. The mayor says there d be no more gridlock and that fewer cars on the roads mean fewer gas emissions, helping the environment.
At his briefing Tuesday, de Blasio held up a fake $15 billion check, which he said represents the total amount congestion pricing would invest into the city s mass transit.

Members of a coalition at a demonstration Wednesday criticized New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s “Empire Station” plan to build 10 skyscrapers as a way to fund Penn Station’s redevelopment.

New York’s state constitution requires that the legislature and the governor pass a budget by April 1st. That has not happened, as lawmakers and the governor continue to negotiate issues in the $217 billion budget that will affect millions of New Yorkers.
Thousands of pages of the 10billsthatcomprise the state budget have already been published for legislators and the public to hastily review. This language has been hashed out in meetings of the leaders of the two houses Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins, and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose negotiating power has been diminished due to the mounting investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct and the mishandling of nursing home deaths caused by COVID-19.
