Pete King to Newsmax: Trump Right to Stop NYC Congestion Tolls

President Donald Trump made the right move by pulling away federal authorization for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s congestion tolls for drivers entering Manhattan, former Rep. Pete King told Newsmax Sunday.

“I’ve lived there my whole life, you know, coming over the 59th Street Bridge,” the New York Republican, appearing on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America Weekend,” said. “The fact is that they lose more money in unpaid tolls from fair jumpers every year than they can bring in through congestion pricing.”

The toll had ranged from $4.50 for motorcycles to $9 for passenger vehicles, going up to $21.60 for large trucks entering a zone south of 60th Street in Manhattan.
