How Not to Do It
By 
Scott noted that Illinois governor JB Pritzker is providing an example for Democrats of how to resist Trump. You know who is not doing that? New Jersey’s governor Phil Murphy, who spent the first day of the Trump years urging his new president to intervene in New York City’s congestion pricing plan.
New Jersey’s Democratic governor, Philip D. Murphy, asked President Trump on Monday to re-examine New York’s congestion pricing program, which is charging drivers $9 to enter Manhattan’s central business district and which his state had unsuccessfully sued to block.
Mr. Trump has already declared his distaste for congestion pricing. He called the plan, which New York’s Democratic governor, Kathy Hochul, rushed to implement right after he won the election, “the most regressive tax known to womankind,” and warned that it would “put New York City at a disadvantage over competing cities and states, and businesses will flee.”
In a letter on Monday, Governor Murphy reminded Mr. Trump, on his first day in office, of his comments, adding, “I welcome any opportunity to work with you and your administration where we can find common ground. One area where I believe our priorities align is congestion pricing.” Echoing some of Mr. Trump’s language, he declared New York’s plan “a disaster for working- and middle-class New Jersey commuters and residents.”
Fuck this guy, both on policy merits and on sucking up to Trump. Do better New Jersey.
