New York lawmakers want to charge drivers to enter Manhattan below 60th Street. The plan needs federal approval and had languished under President Donald Trump.
But the election of President Joe Biden has breathed new life into congestion pricing, with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg putting the approval process back on track.
But here’s the thing: A lot of New Jersey residents work below 60th Street in Manhattan. It’s estimated that congestion pricing could cost them an additional $3,000 a year.

When Lisa McCormick ran against United States Senator Robert Menendez in the 2018 Democratic primary election, her campaign’s alleged usage of bogus signatures was probably one of the worst kept secrets in progressive politics. Anyone and everyone who followed the race knew that neither she nor her diminutive (I vaguely remember someone else referring to him in the past as Lilliputian and I refrained from using this adjective out of fear of being accused of plagiarism) campaign manager, Jim Devine, had the capacity or the reach to find at least 1,000 registered Democrats who would sign her nominating petition.
