NEW YORK — Gov. Kathy Hochul gave the green light to a controversial Manhattan toll plan, but her political foes and allies — President-elect Donald Trump and the powerful New York City teachers union among them — have separately vowed to stop it.
Hochul’s administration and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority rushed to have the program known as congestion pricing in place before Trump is sworn in — a move that came months after she temporarily blocked its implementation over political concerns. Now the MTA and governor are fending off multiple legal challenges aimed at squelching the tolls — attacks that are scrambling the region’s hard-charging politics.
