The congestion pricing program takes effect on Sunday, but Sherrill argues the tax is little more than an attempt to “fund the [Metro Transportation Authority] on the backs of New Jersey commuters.” “This new tax will raise costs for New Jerseyans, while also worsening traffic and increasing pollution in New Jersey as commuters go out of their way to seek more affordable routes into New York,” Sherrill wrote. “I refuse to sit back as New York uses…

Schumer said Democrats…
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich, who led Republicans to their first House majority in four decades in 1994, said Saturday the House Freedom Caucus should recall how his own caucus led conservatives to power within the party. Gingrich tweeted that he and other conservatives had developed “positive action principles” in 1983 as part of what they called the Conservative Opportunity Society. “[Those] led 11 years later to the Contract with America and the first GOP House Majority in 40 years.” “If the Freedom Caucus would study them, they could be dramatically more effective,” Gingrich said, going on to cite and agree…
