Michael LawlerFormer Rep. Mondaire Jones’ opponents in New York’s 17th Congressional District are using his past endorsement of congestion pricing in New York City against him.Jones called congestion pricing in Manhattan “overdue” in a 2022 interview.
Jones’ Democratic opponent Liz Whitmer Gereghty told The Post that congestion pricing is unfair to residents of the Lower Hudson Valley.Republican Rep. Mike Lawler accused Jones of being out-of-touch with the constituents.“But instead of pushing back on this outrageous cash grab, Mondaire sides with the corrupt MTA and New York City politicians who can never get enough of our hard-earned money.
The MTA has yet to set the exact toll amount but has signaled it’ll range between $9 and $23 per day to drive a car into Manhattan’s central business district. The pricing system could be installed in spring 2024.
