Here's the most in-depth legal analysis of the congestion-pricing situation I've seen, by NYU law prof Rick Hills: "As a matter of constitutional principle, it is perverse to construe a federal statute to give governors the power to shut down state law."

I liked this sentence in particular (Alternatively, Polly Trottenberg, Deputy Secretary of USDOT, could save everyone a lot of trouble just by sending a tolling agreement with only three signature lines — one each for the MTA, the City of New York, and the FHWA)

Well, if nothing else, as a Democrat, she's sending a bad message. Did she not read Timothy Snyder's book? Rule 1 is DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE! Don't give the Republicans any ideas about letting the Supreme Court overrule state laws just for fun.

one thing that's still not clear: why has the FWHA still not delivered the agreement to sign? isn't that incredibly suspicious, given that congestion pricing was supposed to start in just a few weeks?
