Comments on: State Assembly Meeting in Manhattan to Talk Congestion Pricing http://www.streetsblog.org/2007/07/16/state-assembly-meeting-in-manhattan-to-talk-congestion-pricing/ Covering the New York City Streets Renaissance Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:16:53 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: momos http://www.streetsblog.org/2007/07/16/state-assembly-meeting-in-manhattan-to-talk-congestion-pricing/comment-page-1/#comment-33986 momos Mon, 16 Jul 2007 23:28:54 +0000 http://www.streetsblog.org/2007/07/16/state-assembly-meeting-in-manhattan-to-talk-congestion-pricing/#comment-33986 Streetsblog editors - I'm a loyal fan of Streetsblog. It's an indespensible source and recent recognition from the NY Times was overdue and well deserved. However, your coverage of this critical day, Monday, July 16, has been disappointing. On arguably the most important day this year for New York City transportation policy, while congestion pricing is being hacked to pieces, Streetsblog is nowhere to be found. I'm regularly checking the City Room and Daily Politics blogs for updates. But those blogs don't track the vital details as Streetsblog would. I hope tomorrow you'll be back in fine form and make up for lost time. Streetsblog editors - I'm a loyal fan of Streetsblog.

The other Assembly members are going around Silver and doing what he wants. #1, it's the other way around. The other Assembly members are going around Silver and doing what he wants.

Hardly enough of a demonstration to scare Shelly Silver. If anything it will convince him that there really isn't that much support out there. And if Brennan, who is supporting it, says the Assembly is 3 or 4 to 1 against it, then it's not fair to blame Silver for going with his members.
