GOD!!!!!!!! PLEASE DONT LET MAYOR BLOOMBJERKS CONGESTION PRICING SCAM TAKE EFFECT!!!!!!!!!!  if there is any justice left in this city this bad idea of congestion pricing has got to go... go away....far far away. In a time where the nation is facing a huge  recession, a tremondous drop in the housing market ( foreclosures up 66% in NY alone) and a rising unemployment rate, It dosent surprise me one bit that this outrageous idea of charging the working class a fee for something that has allways been free, comes from on of NY's richest men. Oh Bloomie if you could only walk in the shoes of a less fortunate individual , maby then you could see the evil of your money hungry ways. what good does it do new yorkers to have a city make so much money and spend so little of it on its people? QUALITY OF LIFE PEOPLE. how much is actually spent on improving the quality of life? Anyone? And dont let them fool you into thinking traffic will be any better  or that  idling cars at toll collection intersections cause less polloution ( those buses spew a multitude of toxic fumes and have been linked to rises in percentages of childhood asthma for children in inner citys, GET THOSE BUSES ON A CLEAN FUEL ALTERNATIVE  ALLREADY DAM IT!!! THEY DO EXIST).

AND FOR SHAME ON NEWS NETWORKS for not showing the opposing side to this scam just because the news shows bloomie stating over and over again that its a good idea and the majority of new yorkers back the plan does NOT make it fact/true, polls like satistics and research studies are only as good a the company  that pays to have the polls and or research done.

My heart goes out to the NJ travelers that not only have to pay  an increase at tolls, but if this plan goes into affect it is going to be an additional "shaft"  to wallet for our neighbors.

If anything the mayor should take  the term "congestion pricing plan"  and change it to the "get more money for NY...plan" at least its not beating around the bush about the objective of said (bs)plan

P.S. Who else has interest in this plan ? Politicans, Priviate Contractors?  You know the saying one hand butters the next .
