City of New York Budget $107B per year.
Yet, they still need to extort $1.1B per year from vehicle drivers for an admission fee to visit Manhattan, South of 60th street.
CONGESTION TAX was never about ‘CONGESTION.’
It’s to remove private cars and hand NYC over to their CAR APP DONORS and Lyft/Uber investors.
