The governor admitted to insulting 9.5 million of her neighbors when she was trying to convince President Trump last week to reverse his decision to scrap federal approval for the scheme to hit drivers with a $9 fee to enter Manhattan below 60th Street.
Hochul said her main gripe with the Trump administration’s move was US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy using New Jersey, at least in part, to justify abruptly nixing the toll. Duffy lives in New Jersey with his family. “First of all, the most offensive thing I found in the letter from Sean Duffy was citing New Jersey, saying they don’t like this program,” Hochul said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” as she recalled details of her private meeting with Trump.

New York would have it's work cut out for it. The Boston Big Dig (aka the Central Artery/Tunnel Project) was originally budgeted at 2.6 billion dollars. But incompetent, corrupt politicians and greedy labor unions drove the final cost over $24 billion, making it the most expensive highway project in U.S. history. You may remember this as the tunnel project where substandard materials caused a portion of the ceiling to collapse dropping concrete panels weighing 3 tons on a car killing a woman passenger.
