How the congestion-toll scam hides behind the fantasy of a carless city

Congestion pricing is a huge failure if you look at its stated goals, but a brilliant ploy to rob the public by appealing to the war on cars. Despite the mutual back-patting from Gov. Kathy Hochul and her MTA minions, traffic is no faster and the air is no cleaner since the city started tolling cars and trucks in much of Manhattan. It has raised money, yielding the MTA about $750 million this year, almost covering the lost revenue from bus and subway fare evasion. So if picking the pockets of working people is a win, then it’s going gangbusters. Dem pol blames congestion pricing for breakup after beau couldn’t afford toll — as she rips Hochul-backed tax But the warm-and-fuzzy crowd feels like the tolls are a win for the environment and so on, and feelings are what matter, right? Hence, too, the push to redesign the city to make driving a car as expensive and inconvenient as possible. Hochul just confessed: She’ll give Mamdani his tax hikes next year Bicycles account for about 1% of all commuting, but romantics feel they’ll become New Yorkers’ most popular option if we’re relentless enough in expanding mostly-empty bike lanes — and

NY unemployment recipients brace for delays during system upgrade

Nearly everyone who interacts with New York’s decades-old unemployment benefits system agrees it’s in need of a major makeover. That’s why advocates for those receiving benefits are largely pleased that the state Department of Labor is beginning an overhaul of the system on Monday. It’s a painstaking process that will require the state to migrate more than 5 billion business records to a new apparatus in a move that promises to make the byzantine apparatus more user-friendly.

GOP AG hopeful Saritha Komatireddy blasts Letitia James for ignoring fraud in NY homeless shelters

New York attorney general hopeful Saritha Komatireddy claimed the state’s homeless were shelters broken and rife with fraud — and accused incumbent Democrat Letitia James of enabling it. “Nearly 20 New Yorkers died in the winter, freezing to death on the streets because they were homeless,” Komatireddy said outside City Hall Thursday. “That is a sign of a failing system. In one of the richest places in the world we have people dying on the streets. It’s unconscionable. “We spend $81,000 per homeless person in New York. You could give a guy $81,000 and he wouldn’t be homeless tomorrow,” the Republican added. “Where is that money going?” NYS Attorney General candidate Saritha Komatireddy said she’d root corruption out of the shelter system. William Farrington for The NY Post Komatireddy pointed blame at her Democratic opponent James, accusing the AG of ignoring calls to investigate the shelter system despite claims of fraud. “The New York State Comptroller, the New York City Comptroller, the Department of Health, the Inspector General, have all conducted investigations,” Komatireddy said. “They have identified concrete instances of fraud, of corruption, of kickbacks. Our homeless shelter industry is just that. Yankees World Series champion Mark Teixeira, now running
