City Council Still Big Hurdle For Congestion Pricing
Mar 10th, 2008 by Jervey
We don’t make secret our support of congestion pricing. Not do we keep quiet our frustration with local politicians who fail to see the bigger picture. It was with some dismay, then, that we read the results of this Times survey late last week, showing the Bloomberg and CP supporters have some work to do not only in the State Senate, but here in town with our City Councilmembers.
The confusing bit here is that the supporting cast is down to 12 from 20 Councilmembers who the Gotham Gazette revealed last Fall to be in support of some Congestion Pricing solution.
