Then there's New York's latest money grab, which will give you the exclusive right to enter the 'Congestion Relief Zone.' The name, which is what the MTA dubs the section of Manhattan below 60th Street, turns truth on its head.
The only 'relief' you will feel after entering the zone will be from a lighter wallet. The $15 daily fee for cars and up to $36 for trucks and buses is the latest version of what the crooks from Tammany Hall called legal graft.
Trying to keep their fingerprints off the money grab, the mayor and the governor have gone mute as the MTA exercised the power Albany gave it to impose a tax on the right to use city streets.
