State Assembly Member Jake Blumencranz (R-District 15) filed a lawsuit in federal court against Gov. Kathy Hochul (Democrat), the MTA and the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority on Monday, March 3, to bring an end to congestion pricing.
The 24-page document was filed in the state’s Southern District Court, alleging that congestion pricing is preempted by federal law and violates the supremacy clause, that the continued enforcement of congestion pricing violates the state’s administrative procedure act, that the MTA and state Department of Transportation’s conduct constitutes an unlawful deprivation of rights and that declaratory and injunctive relief are necessary.
