Bill de Blasio supports Silver tolling plan

By

Bill de Blasio, City Council representative from Brooklyn, spoke out in favor of Sheldon Silver’s $2 East River bridge toll plan today. With his statement in support of the plan to fund the MTA, de Blasio becomes the first City Council member to take a stand on the issue. As Streetsblog reports, his support is notable because he was a congestion pricing opponent. Perhaps he is finally coming around on the issue, and we can only hope that other New York City pols take notice.
