Be careful what you wish for.
A vocal proponent of the stateÂ?s controversial congestion pricing
plan who is nudging New Yorkers into the cityÂ?s troubled transit
system was attacked at a Manhattan subway station over the weekend.
Layla Law-Gisiko, president of the City Club of New York, which sued
Gov. Kathy Hochul to implement the unpopular toll for motorists
driving into Manhattan, said she was left bruised and battered after
the Saturday afternoon attack at the 23rd Street station.
Â?Today at around 3:30 PM, I entered the subway station at 23rd
Street and 5th Avenue,Â? Law-Gisiko, 53, wrote in a post on X
following the attack.
Â?At the bottom of the first flight of stairs, an individual with a
shopping cart began screaming at me and spat in my hair.Â?
Â?I am shaken, with a bruised ankle and a sore shoulder from being
pushed into the wall,Â? she said.
Â?This has been a distressing and painful experience.Â?
Police said Timothy Elliot, 45, was nabbbed at the station and
charged with assault and harassment. He was released on a desk
appearance ticket, cops said.
Hours after the attack, the $9 congestion toll went into effect and
the City Club put out a statement co-signed by Law-Gisiko praising
its launch.
The attack is just the latest in a recent spike in violence in the
subways Â? even as the $9 toll on cars driving into Manhattan south
of 61st Street is nudging more New Yorkers into the transit system.
Law-Gisiko, a native Parisian who has lived in the Big Apple for
three decades, has long been a rabble-rouser on transit issues in the
five boroughs.
The group she heads, the City Club, has been a strong proponent for
the congestion pricing plan, arguing it will Â?incentivize the use of
public transportationÂ? to reduce traffic congestion and improve air
quality.
Last year, the club was one of two groups that sued Hochul to
implement an earlier version of the congestion pricing plan after the
governorÂ?s office temporarily paused its rollout amid concerns it
would put an unfair financial burden on many working-class New
Yorkers.
The current version has caused massive headaches and gridlock since
going into effect on Sunday.
Critics, including the head of the Transport Workers Union, has
complained that the city subway system is too dangerous for New
Yorkers to be forced to use the underground.
Law-Gisiko did not immediately return a call seeking comment on
Wednesday.

So far it's a total failure.
The homeless have gone from washing windshields to selling
license plate camera blockers.
Others are using black/blue tape to alter the numbers on their plates.
So a 3 becomes an 8.
This is all classic democrat bill the taxpayers to pay for their
failed programs, in this case illegal immigrants.
Trump will eliminate illegal immigration.
Just like he did before.
Opps.
President Trump Reduced Legal
Immigration. He Did Not Reduce
Illegal Immigration
JANUARY 20, 2021
President Trump entered the White
House with the goal of reducing
legal immigration by 63 percent.
Trump was wildly successful in
reducing legal immigration. By
November 2020, the Trump
administration reduced the number
of green cards issued to people
abroad by at least 418,453 and the
number of non-?immigrant visas by
at least 11,178,668 during his
first term through November 2020.
President Trump also entered the
White House with the goal of
eliminating illegal immigration
but Trump oversaw a virtual
collapse in interior immigration
enforcement and the stabilization
of the illegal immigrant population.
Thus, Trump succeeded in reduce
legal immigration and failed to
eliminate illegal immigration."
