Gov. Kathy Hochul's indefinite pause on congestion pricing challenged in court by advocacy groups and citizens for breaching the 2019 state law on implementing the program to modernize transit.
Plaintiffs assert Hochul lacks authority to pause the program, as the law delegates implementation power to MTA, questioning the legality of the Transportation Commissioner's actions.
Advocates depict Hochul's halt as a violation of democracy and legislative will, emphasizing the importance of upholding established laws and processes amidst sudden executive decisions.
