Disorder in the Court: U.S. DOT Lawyers Upload Memo Admitting Their Congestion Pricing Case is Weak - Streetsblog New York City
Briefly

The U.S. Department of Justice's federal attorneys unintentionally uploaded a confidential memo highlighting the frailty of Secretary Sean Duffy's defense against the MTA's congestion pricing lawsuit. The memo suggests that Duffy's legal grounds are problematic, particularly his claims about 'cordon pricing' and the focus on revenue generation. The memo provides insight that the case could likely be challenging, indicating a potential loss for Duffy. It also reinforces that Congress acknowledges congestion pricing as a viable solution, indicating solid legislative support for such measures.
