"Hochul initially floated a new payroll tax on workers and employers across the state to make up for the lost revenue."

Nice. What an asshole. Her and Durbin (thank you for continually hammering him, by the way) and a bunch of other old-school and centrist dems are just the absolute pinnacle in habitual rake-stepping.

Also, with respect to the dire condition of NYC's MTA - anybody remember tucker gushing about the Metro in Moscow? How clean, timely, etc it is? He got a lot of criticism - correctly - for ignoring the very real costs of living under the kind of authoritarian regime currently in place in Russia. But it occurred to me that he also doesn't mention that the reason why public transit in the US is such a shambles is because of decades of under-investment and lack of basic maintenance. And tucker is exactly the kind of idiotic pimple who would complain about the subway while also opposing any increase in funding for it, let alone congestion pricing.
