This looks like another Status-Quo Shelly ploy to get what he wants (pay raises) without actually having to agree to anything. Spitzer and Bloomberg should stonewall him until he commits himself and his legislative body to pricing in writing. Anything less is too much wiggle room. Glad to see Spitzer using his leverage, though. From the reporting I’ve seen, Silver wants to set this committee up to just study congestion pricing without actually commmitting to it.
