The New York City Council did the right thing today and approved the Congestion Pricing Bill by a vote of 30-20, with one abstention.
I will write a much more detailed political analysis of congestion pricing once all is said and done on the state level. That said, today's vote was an impressive showing by Speaker Christine Quinn and I would say she is my prohibitive favorite for Mayor in 2009 at this point in time. Also of note, Alan Gerson and Rosie Mendez, whose districts overlap with Shelly Silver's, voted for it.
Roll Call after the flip. |
