The Pause Is Over

The congestion pricing plan is back — but will the plan stick? Will it actually be reality? The board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority last week voted 12-1 to approve a $9 toll during peak hours for drivers of cars entering Manhattan below 60th Street, starting January 5.

Then, in June, just weeks before the first-in-the-nation plan was to take effect, Hochul announced what she termed a “pause.” The impact of ... by Karl Grossman

Hotline Open To Save Cold-Stunned Turtles

The New York State Marine Rescue Center has issued a reminder that cold stun season is approaching and that its 24-hour stranding hotline is open for those who come upon a stunned turtle on the beach. The number to call is 631-369-9829. When water temperatures drop below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, the breathing rate and movements of sea turtles slow, making them unable to swim against currents or dive under the water surface. Due to this, the sea turtles are washed to shore by winds and tides. The New York Marine Rescue Center responds to these sea turtles and rehabilitates them ... by Staff Writer
