NYS Lawmakers Agree to $175 Billion State Budget; Congestion Pricing and Plastic Bag Ban Included, but no Weed

April 1, 2019 by helpdesk1

Lawmakers agreed to the $175.5 billion state budget over the weekend, and it includes congestion pricing, criminal justice reform, and a plastic bag ban. Governor Andrew Cuomo did want a marijuana bill in there as well, but that’s been put on hold…

Rockland Business Association CEO Al Samuels isn’t a fan of pot legalization and hopes it doesn’t get passed, and he has no love for the congestion pricing plan either…

Congestion pricing won’t start right away, but it could start in 2021. The law first will establish a six-member Traffic Mobility Review Board to figure out the tolls and which bridges, such as the Tappan Zee Bridge, could be excluded.
