  • Even with recent events, flying is still the safer option over driving. We're hearing about all the incidents because they are rare, but every day there are lots of automobile fatalities that it's not even reported on beyond the local market since it's common.

  • This is the full letter sent by Duffy. Basically since federal money was used to build the roads, they can't be tolled without federal approval.

    The Federal-Aid Road Act of 1916, Congress has required that roads constructed with Federal-aid highway funds be free from tolls of all kinds, subject to limited exceptions.

    In 1991, Congress created a limited exception to the tolling prohibition for “congestion pricing pilot projects” implemented by States, local governments, or public authorities.

    The Trump administration is arguing that the tolls are mainly there to benefit the MTA, and there wasn't a need to controlling congestion, even though that's what's happening. Anyone who says there isn't a need to control congestion has never driven in lower manhattan without a motorcade.

  • Be petty and withhold sending federal funds which Congress already allocated for this very thing. Republicans in Congress have already shown they're his bitch, and won't do anything about him taking away their power of the purse.
