After passing congestion pricing, NY's MTA wants to charge the NYC Marathon organizers to use the bridges.

[concise]

Oh, you thought it was actually about reducing congestion and not about taxing the people?

[get these nets]

That's not how you tax people. That's some No Vaseline strong arming right there. Some Alonzo from Training Day level of taxing. Boom !

 

[concise]

I can only imagine what's next like charging for parades or even protests.

 

[Womb Raider]

Disgusting

 

[skyrunner1]

Right on track to tax people for breathing

 

[Armchair Militant]

Completely different issue from congestion pricing. They’re shutting down a bridge and the MTA is losing toll revenue. They should have to pay for that.

Everything deserves a deeper look, but there should be more than enough tax money to go around. This country and these large cities tax us to the gills and keep pouring it on.

 

[ORDER_66]

Nah this gone too far

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Wait so they been shutting down the bridge for that bull shyt and not charging before?


So a whole city gets inconvenienced and the city don't recoup by taxing?

WTF?
