NJEDA announces grants to NYC companies. "From the beginning, I vowed to fight congestion pricing" says NJ Gov. Phil Murphy... most recently demeaning environmental reviews and bemoaning NJ smog near GWB, despite state negligence addressing hellishly gridlocked NJ traffic with no coordination across multi-jurisdictional roads and traffic lights. In reality most NJ-NYC commuters use NJT rail, buses, ferries etc. then walk or use MTA. We know thanks to two college students that NYC traffic is already vastly reduced benefiting ALL except apparently Murphy, Gottheimer and a few other 'public' servants representing the pants-on-fire caucus.
