There’s no shot that Zeldin supports congestion pricing and we know how republicans feel general about New York City and public services. It would be an extremely rough four years.

Unless I understand wrong, the law is already passed, the MTA does not need the future governor's approval as congestion pricing is already authorized. He would need to submit legislation that undoes the previous law, but I don't see a good reason the senate would support such a move.

Most of the members of the senate are from outside of Manhattan. It doesn’t take much to scaremonger enough for people to turn against a policy that makes sense, which is why we’re even having a conversation about Zeldin potentially winning in the first place.

He also screamed that he would bypass the will of the legislature with emergency measures over bail reform lol, and they shot back, they seem pissed already and the majority party will probably balk at working with this lunatic

20% of congestion pricing toll revenue will go to the LIRR and MNR. Zeldins right wing suburban base. The other 80% will go to the endless money pit known as “capital projects.”
I wrote about it here.
