FOX 5 NY's Arthur Chi'en has the latest from the ongoing fight for congestion pricing.
More New Yorkers than ever despise the Big Apple’s proposed congestion-pricing toll — but Gov. Kathy Hochul ’s move to indefinitely halt the plan hasn’t meant any popularity boost for her, a new poll shows.
Hochul finds $54M in state funding to restart Second Avenue Subway project stalled after congestion ‘pause’– shortly after she paused the program – 45% of those surveyed said they supported the decision and another 23% opposed it, with the remaining 33% in the middle or “didn’t know.” According to the latest survey, 39% of respondents view the governor favorably and 50% unfavorably, compared with a 38% to 49% split in June – then her lowest ever.
Asked separately what they thought of how the cost of living has changed over the last year, respondents overwhelmingly said things are getting more expensive. A massive 82% say costs have gone up.Hochul has said she at least paused the toll plan because of concerns about the rising cost of living. “It was not the right price at the right time at this moment. I really believe that. But I didn’t end it, I paused it because I do believe in it,” she added.
