The Citizens Budget Commission, a prominent budget watchdog, is urging Governor Kathy Hochul to veto a bill limiting penalties for toll dodgers, arguing it could have a deleterious impact on state finances.
Andrew Rein, the organization’s president, sent a letter to the governor Tuesday calling upon her to reject the Toll Payer Protection Act, which passed both houses of the State Legislature in June by wide margins and is awaiting the governor’s signature or veto.
