Summary
New York’s congestion pricing pause. On Wednesday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) paused a plan to implement a “congestion” toll on motorists entering Manhattan below 60th Street. The toll, scheduled to go into effect on June 30, was intended to relieve gridlock, improve air quality, and provide roughly $1 billion a year to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to modernize the city’s century-old transit infrastructure.

Check out Episode 4 of our podcast series, The Undecideds. May 30th, 2024, just after 5pm Eastern Standard Time, a landmark moment was branded into the 247 year history of the US. For the first time ever, a former American president was found guilty of felony crimes. A jury of 12 New Yorkers deliberated for roughly 10 hours to reach a decision in a case that has people on all sides of the political spectrum debating the integrity of our justice system. In the end, Donald Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in an effort to influence the 2016 election. So how does this affect our undecided voters? The answers may surprise you. We gauge the impact of the verdict on Diana, Zahid, Claire, Brian, and Phil and discover that on the road to the White House, even a felony conviction doesn’t block all paths.

| 1:00.5 | I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we're going to be talking about New York City's now maybe dead congestion pricing plan. |
| 1:09.8 | This is, to me, a really interesting policy debate. It's something I think |
| 1:13.7 | we could see in major cities all across the U.S. if it were to be implemented and successful in one |
