When Kathy Hochul isn't stockpiling abortion medication, she is apparently introducing New Yorkers to her new math. Right now, they pay zero dollars in tolls. She has decided to start charging tolls. At some point, it was going to be $15, but she decided it is now $9 and she is working to convince her constituents she is saving them money. The best way to save them money would be to leave the toll at zero dollars.
“Your toll today is $0. We’re implementing a $9 toll instead of a $15 toll, so we’re saving you 40%” is perfect NY politician logic. #congestionpricing pic.twitter.com/xwh4RWUmwB

Like, don't do us any favors lady!
New York, she hates you and thinks you are stupid. Vote accordingly next time. https://t.co/3lB9iXUwtY

Literally, everyone.
When she said that I had to get my calculator out. So you’re saving us 40% when I’m saving 100% now. pic.twitter.com/bsITGhvLxI

Good luck trying to figure out Kath's new math.
The second part of the statement was "that saves families $1500 a year!" Can't make it up.

It's like a wife trying to justify buying a $200 purse because it was on sale and she just saved the family money.
She's not very good at the teleprompter reading, is she?

The list of things she is not good at is long.
She needs to be voted out. This is a money grab

Of course. People need to travel. There’s more. I read about a bike shop that had 4 deliveries. Their warehouse was outside of the zone. Their truck would pay $36 toll. They pass that on to the customer. Not $9 each, but $36 each! It’s not just the toll. There are many layers.

There are lots of unintended consequences.
Correct. The cost of goods and energy will be increased by truck companies, and the cost will be paid for by the consumers

The MTA is struggling (the trains, subways). They’re trying to force people back into them and/or pay for the budget shortfalls.
— robmillertime (@robmillertime) November 14, 2024
Maybe if the trains and the subways were safe, people would gladly ride them more.
So transparently political. Wait till after the election and then figure out the highest price possible without causing catastrophic damage to approval ratings.

In June, it was paused "indefinitely" (for the election)

It's almost like she has no respect for the voters.
