Ex-Rep. Vito Fossella’s last-minute, game-changing endorsement from former President Donald Trump in the Staten Island borough president GOP primary got a paid, targeted Facebook boost from an unexpected source: conservative cable news outlet Newsmax.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Congestion pricing hasn’t even started yet and it’s already causing hostilities to break out between New York and New Jersey.

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.
