New Jersey Governor Threatens Legal Action to Stop New York City Congestion Pricing. By John Reitmeyer. Bergen County Record, April 2, 2008. "New Jersey Governor John Corzine is threatening legal action against New York City's plan to charge drivers extra tolls in congested parts of Manhattan. Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to charge an $8 fee for anyone driving below 60th Street between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays inched closer to approval on Monday with backing from the City Council. It's now in the hands of state legislators in Albany. But Corzine says the plan isn't fair to New Jersey drivers, who already pay through tolls to use the George Washington Bridge and the Lincoln and Holland tunnels. 'Unless this plan treats all drivers fairly, I am prepared to pursue legal action to protect New Jersey commuters from this outrageous action,' Corzine said."
