Mayor Adams hails ‘great’ relationship with Gov. Hochul
“When you’re a leader, you make tough decisions,” Adams said of Hochul’s revival of the wildly unpopular new commuter tax — which Trump has already vowed to “terminate” in his first week in the White House.
Still, the pair had a warm phone call after Trump won the Nov. 5 election over Dem Vice President Kamala Harris. “When I said, ‘Let’s turn down the temperature, and let’s work together for the city of New York,’ all of a sudden we got a different energy.”Cars entering Manhattan below 60th Street will be charged a $9 toll starting next year, with the tax later increased to $12 by 2028 and spiking to the originally planned $15 after 2031.
“I’m an elected official. I have worked with people across the aisle,” she said when asked about her phone call with Trump.
