Save Long Island Announces Full Support for Legal Action Against Controversial Tolling Plan

LONG ISLAND, NY – Save Long Island stands in full support of Assemblyman Jake Blumencranz’s federal lawsuit against Governor Kathy Hochul and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in an effort to put an end to New York’s congestion pricing program.

This legal challenge seeks to overturn the controversial tolling scheme, which imposes additional financial burdens on hardworking Long Islanders and other commuters who rely on access to Manhattan. Assemblyman Blumencranz’s lawsuit argues that congestion pricing unfairly penalizes suburban residents while failing to provide equitable transportation alternatives.

“Save Long Island has been fighting against this unjust tax on commuters from the beginning,” said [Your Name], spokesperson for Save Long Island. “We commend Assemblyman Blumencranz for taking this crucial legal step to protect residents and businesses from an unfair and harmful policy. The congestion pricing plan is nothing more than a cash grab that disproportionately impacts working families, small businesses, and first responders.”

Save Long Island urges lawmakers, community leaders, and residents to stand together in opposition to congestion pricing and support legal efforts to halt its implementation.
