A real battle broke out between new York mayor bill de Blasio and state Governor Andrew Cuomo this week. The dispute centered on the proposed Cuomo’s measure – the introduction of additional fees for entry into areas with congested traffic, particularly in Manhattan.
De Blasio said that he never met cases when the introduction of co-payment for the congestion of traffic was «fair». He considers it «unthinkable» that the Senate of the state of new York is considering the introduction of new tariffs.
At the same time, mayor De Blasio continued to defend their own initiative – the introduction of so-called tax for millionaires, money from the payment which should go on repair of the subway. The mayor’s plan was also met with opposition ambiguous and not all supported him. Active criticism of the proposal received from Republicans. Perhaps, Cuomo proposed the measure De Blasio saw a competing idea, and so so eager to resist it.
