Republican gubernatorial candidate and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman held a news conference in Manhattan on Tuesday, pledging to eliminate New York City's $9 congestion pricing toll if elected governor. Blakeman criticized the program as an additional financial burden on working families and outlined possible ways to end it, including legislation or stopping enforcement. Governor Kathy Hochul's campaign defended its transportation policies, arguing that Blakeman's proposal would undermine public transit funding. The two candidates face off in the November 3 election.
