Gov. Hochul is mulling a reduced-priced congestion-pricing toll that exempts city union workers, reports The Post’s Carl Campanile — after the November election.

Mike Lawler takes credit for stopping NYC’s controversial $15 congestion toll in new ad campaignPlus, exempting public-sector workers turns the whole “anti-congestion” rationale for the tolls into a joke: Now the “pricing” is purely an added burden on the private sector. Heck, it’s another step down the road to making New York a two-class city: Private-sector folks also rarely get routine public-sector perks like guaranteed pensions or post-retirement health coverage, either.
Nor will Albany consider finding more cash for the agency out of the state’s bloated $240 billion annual budget.
