So I have three full length stories and then I have five notable mentions. So the notable mentions,

if you remember from a couple of episodes ago, that's when I cover stories in two minutes or less. So very, very brief summarized versions of some of the headlines you have probably seen. And the three stories I have for you, the first

one is going to be about New York's new congestion pricing plan. The second story

is Moore versus Harper, a Supreme Court case. We're going to keep that going with the affirmative action

cases that were just decided yesterday and then of course we'll finish with

those notable mentions. Before we jump into today's stories let me just remind you to please leave me a review on

whatever podcast platform you listen on really help support my show if you've already

left me a review I truly truly appreciate you and of course don't forget to share my show with your friends your family

your colleagues whoever you might know that would appreciate nonpartisan unbiased

fact-based news without further ado let's get into today's stories. On Tuesday, New York's governor announced that New York is going to be the first state in the nation

to have a congestion pricing plan. Think of it like this, the tolls that you have to pay on the highway, depending on where you live, but instead these are tolls on the streets of Manhattan, more specifically the Central Business District of Manhattan.

This announcement comes after New York City was cleared last week by the Federal Highway

Administration to move forward with the plan.

And the government's approval basically gives contractors up to 310 days

to complete the design, the development, the testing,

as well as the installation of the tolling system and the equipment.

In a press conference on Tuesday, Governor Hockel said, we are going to be the very first in the nation,

the very first city of America to have a congestion

pricing plan. Others will look at us, other cities are paying attention. So

how does this work? Well cars that either enter or stay in the central business district will be told and these tolls will vary depending on the time of day and the level of congestion.
