New Jersey is not New York City s piggy bank : NJ lawmakers fight NY congestion toll
Replay Video UP NEXT
PARAMUS Lawmakers are vowing to fight back against a proposed New York City congestion toll with a fee of New Jersey s own that would tax out-of-state drivers going to the city.
U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-Wyckoff, said new legislation is in the works to add what he called a sales tax at every New Jersey/New York crossing, and tolls for all non-New Jersey residents.
The New York congestion plan would impose a toll on motorists driving into Manhattan below 60th Street during peak times. New York received key approval at the end of March to move forward with the plan.

Three state lawmakers fired back Monday, vowing to introduce legislation that would tax out-of-state drivers entering New Jersey on Port Authority bridges and tunnels. That money would fund rebates to Jersey drivers who had to pay a congestion pricing fee, if that plan is implemented.
