Spat..

 

President Trump will have to come up with $15 billion in federal cash to fix New York City’s subway system if he wants to cut congestion pricing, Gov. Kathy Hochul insisted Thursday as their ongoing spat over the controversial Manhattan toll only continues to escalate.

If I lose $15 billion that we’re able to leverage with the money brought in by congestion pricing, then I won’t be able to fix the stations and the repairs and the new buses I need.

Comment:
Let's get real. One month gave less than 50 million dollars tax revenue. 15 billion dollars will need more than 20 years of taxing people who are overtaxed already to fix a non-fixable, deep hole, money waste, system. 

That MTA system just cause misery to those who works evening and night. Also to those who live out of certain zones where the service is scarce. The expansion of rush hour on congestion pricing doesn't match the rush hour of the MTA services to the people.   
 Just a thought.

Time..

 


The governor of New York issued a warning today to all New Yorkers.
We live in uncertain times with the state of the world, politics, and questions about what is and isn't constitutional in the United States. The State of New York is no exception to this. It made headlines recently for refusing to extradite a doctor for providing health care to abortion patients. There is a fight over the State's Congestion Pricing tolls in New York City as the Trump administration attempts to block it.
Comment:
Is this a new game of fear for tomorrow?  Just a thought.

The UK “shouldn’t be talking” of giving Donald Trump another state visit in light of the “unacceptable” scenes in the Oval Office, John Swinney has said.  

Scotland’s First Minister also said there needs to be an “honest debate” about taxation in light of the increase to defense spending.

He has called on the offer of a state visit to the UK to be rescinded unless the US president gives “full scale” backing to Ukraine.

His comments come as European leaders discuss the way forward following the angry clash between Mr. Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House, which was broadcast around the world.

Comment:

These voices are to Continue the Ukraine War, Discuss own taxation, and military spending, for their own countries. 

Got used to US doing all the spending and action and want the deal to continue. 

 Just a thought.
