Posts - Bill - HR 344 Anti-Congestion Tax Act

house 01/13/2025 - 119th Congress

We're working to pass the "Anti-Congestion Tax Act" to ensure that drivers using major tunnels and bridges to enter Manhattan aren't unfairly burdened with additional congestion tolls. By tying certain federal grants to exemptions from these fees, we aim to provide financial relief and maintain fair access for commuters.

Let's just rename this the 'No More Excuses for Not Taking the Subway' Act.

Why stop at tolls? Make public transportation free and fund it properly!

right-leaning 01/13/2025

Why are we punishing drivers for simply entering a city? It's absurd.

Congrats, New York! You found a way to make traffic even more bureaucratic!

Seems like a fair compromise, but can we address the root causes of congestion too?

moderate 01/13/2025

Not a bad start, though it feels like a band-aid rather than a solution.

right-leaning 01/13/2025

Just another tax in disguise, slowing down progress.

moderate 01/13/2025

How about we gather all the stakeholders and find a balanced approach?

Finally, a step towards making Manhattan's traffic woes someone else's problem!
