New York judge denies dismissal of lawsuits against Governor Hochul's congestion fee pause.
A New York judge has rejected Governor Kathy Hochul's request to dismiss lawsuits contesting her decision to pause a congestion fee for drivers entering Manhattan. The fee, set to begin June 30, would have charged about $15 per vehicle, aiming to raise $1 billion annually for transit upgrades. Opponents argue the governor's actions violate state laws and the constitution, and the lawsuits will proceed, requiring her to defend her decision in court.
