Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has just put New York Governor Kathy Hochul on notice over forcing New Yorkers to pay more to drive on roads they’ve already paid for by not ending her cordon pricing.
Duffy suggests to Hochul that if she continues to do this, the federal government could halt the billions of dollars being sent to New York.
Here’s what he said:
@GovKathyHochul — the federal government and @POTUS are putting New York on notice.
Your refusal to end cordon pricing and your open disrespect towards the federal government is unacceptable.
Just as your high tolls and no free road option are a slap in the face to hard working Americans, your refusal to approve two vital pipelines that will lower fuel costs by 50% are against the public’s best interests.
Your unlawful pricing scheme charges working-class citizens to use roads their federal tax dollars already paid to build.
We will provide New York with a 30-day extension as discussions continue.
Know that the billions of dollars the federal government sends to New York are not a blank check. Continued noncompliance will not be taken lightly.
Money talks, especially with these massive amounts, and I guarantee you President Trump and Duffy will win this fight.
