President Trump declared a personal victory over Manhattan's congestion pricing plans via a social media post, proclaiming himself 'King' and asserting that the policy is now dead. This follows a letter from Sean Duffy, Trump's nominee for Transportation Secretary, to Governor Kathy Hochul, which voiced federal objections to tolls aimed at reducing traffic and funding transit improvements. Hochul countered Trump's claim highlighting the importance of law, and legal challenges have emerged regarding the tolls which greatly impact working-class drivers.
In a striking display of defiance, Governor Hochul asserted, 'We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king,' emphasizing her commitment to uphold legal frameworks over Trump's whims.
Sean Duffy's letter to Hochul highlighted the financial burden on working-class drivers and challenged the use of toll revenue intended for public transport upgrades.
