NEW YORK: New York’s plan to charge drivers entering midtown Manhattan is a “brazen money grab,” New Jersey’s senior US senator said after the Garden State sued to block the congestion pricing proposal.

The litigation threatens to delay a second-quarter start to the plan, under which drivers using E-ZPass who enter the city south of 60th Street could pay as much as US$23 (RM105).
