Hochul Mocked for Claiming $9 Toll SAVES Them Money

Chassidim Kissing Hochul's Ass

 Governor Kathy Hochul used twisted logic to gaslight New Yorkers, by claiming that by charging them “only” $9 in tolls she is saving them money. You cannot make this stuff up.

Hochul on Monday claimed her congestion pricing would save New Yorkers 40% on tolls for driving into Midtown — skipping the fact that her proposal is an increase (times infinity) from the current rate of $0.

She explained during a press conference that the new plan is a 40% decrease in tolls from the $15 that was initially scheduled to take effect.

“From day one I have made affordability for New York families a top priority. I always have and I always will fight to put more money in the pockets of everyday New Yorkers,” Hochul said. “That’s why, back in June, I stood up on behalf of hardworking families and simply said no. No to a new $15 congestion toll that at that particular time was just too much.”

Later she said, “You heard me correctly,” Hochul said of the toll set to take effect in January. “It was $15 and now it is $9, that is a 40% reduction. “This lower toll will save daily commuters nearly $1,500 annually, and that kind of money makes a big difference for our families.”

Her absurd logic was ridiculed on X.

“I was going to rob you and then kill you but I’ve decided to only rob you, which means I have saved your life,” The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh posted.

“Woman shopping logic applied to taxes is insane,” Joel Berry added.

“She must think NY voters are really dumb,” Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume said .

“Hochul left out the part about this $9.00 toll charge for entering Manhattan representing a 100% INCREASE. As compared to the $0.00 toll amount charged prior to June 2024,” another added.

“They want you to praise them from extorting you a little less than they originally planned,” RedState’s Bonchie said.
