and they don t have the people in government doing what they need to do to actually enforce these laws. and when alvin bragg came in, his day one memo, he said he wasn t going to enforce all different kinds of laws including fare jumping. the other impacts of these policies is now the mta wants to enact something called congestion pricing kathy hochul supports this plan, a new fee to get into manhattan, and we should be looking at this across the entire country, what s happening in new york. because as we look at what happened in london, it resulted in more congestion, ironically, and that s going to happen here in new york. they say they need more money for the mta. if you want more money for the mta, how about you improve rider shepship experience ridership experience instead of reaching into the pocket of the driver? there are economic consequences. there are the consequences of new yorkers leaving the state more than people fleeing any
