The MTA claims that the Traffic Mobility Review Board which will recommend toll prices for drivers entering Manhattan's central business district isn't required to follow the state's open meetings laws, the New York Post first reported. Government bodies subject to these laws are required to post notices of their meetings and allow members of the public to attend the meetings as well as access and copy meeting minutes.
An MTA spokeswoman told the Post that the panel won't have to follow the open meetings laws because it won't perform a "governmental action subject to the open meetings law."
Congestion Pricing was a major part of this year's state budget and Gov. Andrew Cuomo expects the policy to raise at least $15 billion for MTA capital projects.
The MTA awarded a $507 million contract to a company called TransCore to design, install and maintain what the MTA calls a "first-of-its-kind" tolling system below 60th Street in Manhattan.
Sucking the money out of poor people of New York.
