The headlines on Thursday: Setting a date output

The great story yesterday was the revelation that the Trump administration sent a letter to the MTA by asking it to switch off the pricing cameras of overload on March 21.

Everyone covered it – Nydn, Ny Post, Ny Times, Amny, Gothamist and the city, for the beginning – but the story is a kind of argument because the cameras are actually on action, and Governor Hochul says that she will only switch it off until it was dependent on a judge.

In the meantime, the judge in the MTA complaint against the Trump Us Dot has not even set an appointment for a hearing for the case. However, we suspect that judge Lewis Liman is now being grabbed because the executive director of FHWA, Gloria Shepherd, posted March 21st “on March 21”.

The real story of yesterday almost came aside: the retail trade went up in the overloading zone and exposes President Trump's main argument against toll fees. Dave Colon had this story.
