The new system would charge drivers for entering lower Manhattan, but Rep. Nicole Malliotakis has been pushing to ensure Staten Islanders don’t need to pay another fee after crossing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
“Congestion pricing is nothing more than another tax on drivers in the left’s war against cars,” Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/South Brooklyn) said in an emailed statement Tuesday.

As the situation in Cuba grows more dire by the day, Cuban American Rep. Nicole Malliotakis is calling on the United States government to act.

Months after partisan fights over Israel reached a fever pitch during the recent war between Israel and Hamas, seven House lawmakers who traveled to Israel, the West Bank and Qatar last week told Jewish Insider that they were heartened by the new Israeli government’s commitment to ensuring that the U.S.-Israel relationship remains bipartisan.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) participated last week in a bipartisan delegation of U.S. Congressmembers to Israel and Qatar.

This trip included meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid; and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
