New Jersey Representatives Oppose NYC's Congestion Pricing Plan as a "Cash-Grabbing" Scheme.

New Jersey representatives Rob Menendez and Josh Gottheimer are opposing New York City's congestion pricing plan, which would charge drivers entering central Manhattan at peak times. They argue that the plan would harm New Jersey residents by pushing traffic and air pollution into surrounding communities. The representatives also claim that the plan is a "cash-grabbing" scheme that would impose a financial burden on hardworking families who commute into the city. They are calling for a full environmental study and intend to submit a comment during the 30-day review period. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is also looking into legal options to fight the plan.
