Subway mayhem spurs Cuomo to urge halt to new NYC driving tax
Fox News
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whom the New York press previously called the 'father' of congestion pricing, still supports the plan but questions the timing and analysis done.
Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"Governor Cuomo believes congestion pricing is ultimately the right policy, which is why he fought and succeeded in passing it after more than a decade of failed attempts," longtime spokesman Rich Azzopardi told Fox News Digital on Friday. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
Azzopardi said that Cuomo’s original plan, which found agreement from then-Mayor Bill de Blasio, was based on a "safe and reliable subway system" and a thriving city core. Prior Mayor Michael Bloomberg had proposed a similar plan in 2007, but it died in Albany. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
