Town of Hempstead’s lawsuit dismissed against MTA

A Supreme Court judge on Wednesday, June 18 dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Town of Hempstead against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the State of New York opposing New York’s congestion-pricing program.

MTA chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said Hempstead’s lawyers “threw in the towel” at a Manhattan court hearing before Judge Arthur Engoron in which they were nearly a no-show.
