The fight between New York and New Jersey lawmakers over congestion pricing continues to intensify. Some New Jersey lawmakers are threatening to block federal funding for New York projects, as billboards against the plan have sprouted up around the Garden State.

Then, CJ Griffin, an attorney, sounds the alarm about increasing efforts to thwart transparency under the guide of “protecting” officials. Later, Kevin Phalon from the United Railroad Historical Society of NJ talks about preserving NJ’s railroad history.
