*NJEDA announces grants to NYC companies.* "From the beginning, I vowed to fight congestion pricing" says NJ Gov. Phil Murphy, who demeans environmental reviews and bemoans NJ smog near GWB, despite state negligence addressing hellishly gridlocked traffic in north, central and south NJ, with no coordination across jurisdictions for roads and traffic signals. In reality most NJ-NYC commuters use NJT rail and buses, ferries etc. then walk or use MTA. *Thanks to two college students* we know that NYC traffic has been vastly reduced which benefits ALL except apparently Murphy, Gottheimer and a few other 'public' servants representing a pants-on-fire caucus.
