Here are other recent tweets from Josh Gottheimer:

"$1.25B lost over the next decade could mean a $2 toll increase to go over the GWB or through the Holland or Lincoln on top of the $17 daily toll. Add it all up, the Congestion Tax would increase to $25 a day total to drive to work or $5,500/year for hardworking families."

"Today in Fort Lee, Im highlighting how the MTA Congestion Tax creates new hidden costs for NJ.

From MTA projections, fewer cars will head south of 60th St. because of the new Congestion Tax, causing the Port Authority to face nearly $125M/year in lost revenue from fewer tolls."

"That includes making life more affordable and drawing good-paying jobs and businesses to NJ, helping families stay in Jersey, investing in our people and infrastructure, building on bipartisan successes in Congress, and continuing to work across the aisle for Jersey."
