Fleecing New Yorkers: Dems’ Pay-to-Park Scheme
We’re told the proposed congestion-pricing cashgrab is needed to fund the MTA, and now we hear we might have to pay just to park, too (“Get ready for fee parking,” March 16). You’ll have to pay wherever you park.
With all the money going into the MTA, you have to wonder how it faces a “historic budget crisis.”
A thorough audit of the MTA is needed, not yet another tax imposed on us by state Sen. Michael Gianaris and his greedy progressive colleagues. They’re doing their best to make New York as unaffordable and unlivable as possible. Gary Mottola

So now it’s parking permits. All for the bottomless pit of the no-accountability MTA.
How about collecting the billions stolen via COVID fraud first?
And if the city has enough funds for hotels, medical care, food, clothing, college tuition, etc. for illegal immigrants, how can it possibly consider
charging hardworking citizens for parking permits or congestion pricing? Robert Leavy

How much is the city charging restaurants for their outdoor shanties that are making streets all over the city look like crap?
When is the city going to force the restaurants to remove them? They are using up street space for free that could be used by car owners.
I remain, as always, disgusted
in Soho, surrounded by poorly constructed restaurant shanties. Richard Nash Gould
The Democratic Party (the party of crime) has come up with a new fleece-the-public taxraising scheme: parking permits for certain areas in Manhattan.
This harebrained scheme will do almost nothing to improve the parking situation. Along with congestion pricing, we can all expect higher taxes.
Not to mention President Biden’s open-door policy of allowing everyone into the country. That means we pay for illegal immigrants’ schooling, food and rent.
We will soon see a time where we have to take second jobs just to pay our taxes. We have to vote these socialists/ communists out of office. Enough already.
