Unbelievably Lame

As I have mentioned earlier, Kathy Hochul suspended New York City's congestion pricing program.

In addition to being bad policy, which she supported by falsehoods, and possibly being illegal, it also resented in a major hole in the MTA's budget, both because it cut billions in revenue, and because the money had already been spent on the technology to implement this.

When questioned by a reporter on replacing the revenue, the Governor's response was to eject the reporter from the press conference, because her spirit animal is apparently the Karen:

At a Sunday event in the Bronx, Governor Kathy Hochul refused to provide details on her plans to fund mass transit after her decision earlier this month to pause congestion pricing punched a $15 billion hole in the budget of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

A New York Focus reporter repeatedly asked her how she plans to provide cash to the authority, which was scheduled to begin a program on Sunday that would charge drivers $15 to enter downtown Manhattan during peak hours. Without replacement funding, the nation’s largest public transit system will be forced to cancel projects ranging from new subway stations to elevator installations, and could fall into general disrepair.

………

After Hochul entered the side room at the Bronx event, New York Focus’s reporter was ejected from the venue, the Latino Pastoral Action Center, and told to wait for the governor to come outside for further questions. She still hadn’t emerged from the main entrance by the time her security and press staff left the venue, suggesting that she may have departed through a side door.

Liam Buckley, a Hochul press aide, apologized for the reporter’s ejection and said it “shouldn’t have happened.” He declined to answer questions about congestion pricing and directed New York Focus to the governor’s press office, which has also declined to provide details to the press in recent days.

She really is a complete chicken sh%$.
