Murphy Fires off a Thank You Letter to Trump

Statement by Governor Murphy on the Federal Highway Administration’s Decision to Rescind Value Pricing Pilot Program (VPPP) Agreement Authorizing New York’s Congestion Pricing Program

“I want to thank President Trump and Secretary Duffy for their efforts to halt the current congestion pricing program in Manhattan’s Central Business District.

“While I have consistently expressed openness to a form of congestion pricing that meaningfully protects the environment and does not unfairly burden hardworking New Jersey commuters, the current program lines the MTA’s pockets at the expense of New Jerseyans.

“Although we have had a difference of opinion with our colleagues in New York on congestion pricing, we have always had a productive relationship with our neighbors across the Hudson. I look forward to continuing that spirit of partnership for the benefit of the entire Tri-State Area.”

    "I don't care if you love congestion pricing or hate it, this is an attack on our sovereign identity, our independence, from Washington," Gov Kathy Hochul said. EXACTLY! Like it or not, Murphy is supporting lawlessness. Shameful & appalling Gov Murphy sent a thank you letter to His Royal Highness Trump. WTH!!! Where do your loyalties lie?! Disturbing!!! Trump is giving tax cuts to the wealthy and Murphy is wealthy...hmmm.
