The statement from Senators Ryan Fazio and Stephen Harding highlights concerns over the upcoming toll increase for entering Manhattan, New York, which will rise from $6 to $9 starting on January 5.
They argue that this increase will financially impact many Connecticut residents who regularly commute to Manhattan.
Additionally, they believe it will negatively affect the broader New York economy, which is already burdened by high taxes and fees.
The senators also mention ongoing concerns about New York’s taxation of Connecticut residents working from home, calling for potential legal action from Connecticut’s administration and attorney general’s office to address what they see as an unfair burden.
