A bipartisan group of federal lawmakers are joining forces in an attempt to combat the potential implementation of the nation’s first congestion pricing plan in New York City.
On Wednesday, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/South Brooklyn) and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) announced the formation of a new Anti-Congestion Tax Caucus, which will push for additional study of the controversial program in hopes of slowing or stopping implementation.
Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis and several Staten Island elected officials penned a letter to Mayor Eric Adams on Monday encouraging him to apply for grant funding recently announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to upgrade New York City’s essential water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure.
Ahead of a House hearing on the origins of COVID-19, the Biden administration's Department of Energy and the FBI have endorsed the COVID lab-leak theory in recent weeks. On "Fox & Friends" Wednesday, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., argued that the "mounting evidence" that Dr. Anthony Fauci was involved in "one of the biggest cover-ups in American history."
Former U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Robert Redfield said Wednesday that American tax dollars funded gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology that created COVID.
U.S. Representative Nicole Malliotakis is calling for a better approach to how New York City deals with migrants who have found their way to the city. Speaking on WOR 710’s Len Berman and Michael Riedel in the Morning program, the two-term Congresswoman declared that “It’s absolutely mind-boggling that (the Adams) administration is going out of their way to house tens of thousands of people who just crossed our border, when we have American citizens, homeless New Yorkers, veterans… so many people who are in need.”
Mayor Eric Adams announced the second phase of his plan to address New Yorkers mental health problems on Thursday, and a key prong is bringing more safe-injections sites to the five boroughs.
That doesn’t sit well with at least two local elected officials who vowed to oppose any of the sites, which the city calls overdose prevention centers, on Staten Island.
Republican lawmakers called for the Biden administration to declassify everything the intelligence community knows about the COVID-19 pandemic after the Energy Department judged that the virus likely leaked from a Chinese lab.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The implementation of the nation’s first congestion pricing plan has been pushed back several months in a move that MTA officials anticipate will cost the agency roughly $250 million in expected revenue.

Disgraced former Gov. Cuomo may be hauled before Congress this year to answer for the state’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and his deadly executive order forcing nursing homes to accept infected individuals.
Cuomo, and other top state officials, are currently being scrutinized by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
“It’s quite possible that the committee will subpoena either [former] Gov. Cuomo or his former chief of staff Melissa DeRosa,” said Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a Staten Island Republican.
