'King' Trump's DOT Secretary Is Acting Like A Child on Congestion Pricing: Legal Scholar - Streetsblog New York City
Briefly

The U.S. DOT, under Secretary Sean Duffy, attempts to invalidate the congestion pricing agreement through claims of unwritten rules permitting contract nullification by the federal agency.
