Today's Big Stories
1. Congestion pricing brings in $45 million in March, new data shows
Congestion pricing continues to be a money-maker for the MTA. According to new numbers released by the MTA Monday, the tolling program brought in $45 million in net revenue in March.
Starting on Jan. 5 when the fees first went into effect through March 31, the new toll has brought in nearly $160 million in revenue, the MTA said. The MTA expects to collect approximately $500 million from the toll in its first year.
2. First accuser takes the witness stand at Harvey Weinstein’s #MeToo retrial
A woman who says Harvey Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her testified Tuesday at his #MeToo retrial that she never had any romantic or sexual interest in the one-time Hollywood heavyweight.
Miriam Haley, the first of three accusers expected to testify, told jurors about an awkward meeting with Weinstein at the Cannes Film Festival in France two months before she says he assaulted her at his Manhattan apartment in July 2006.
3. Faulty repairs caused deadly 2023 garage collapse, DOB report finds
Human error led to the deadly parking garage collapse in lower Manhattan two years ago, according to a New York City Department of Buildings report.
The report released Monday attributed the April 2023 collapse to multiple factors, including what it called the “dangerous demolition of a structural brick pier inside the building performed without construction approvals or permits.”
A coalition of business advocacy organizations from across New York is imploring the state’s congressional delegation to oppose any efforts in Washington to weaken or repeal the CHIPS and Science Act.
In a letter sent to the delegation Monday, the president of the Business Council of New York State and the leaders of 10 other New York-based organizations wrote that the Biden-era law is “already creating jobs and driving economic growth across New York, and its impact will only increase in the coming years.”
President Donald Trump has wasted little time in aggressively flexing the powers of the executive branch since returning to the Oval Office 100 days ago.
Many of his policies — including cracking down on undocumented immigrants, penalizing universities and seeking to end congestion pricing — have affected his native New York in profound ways.
6. Public School Film Festival returns for seventh year
The annual Public School Film Festival returns to the city for its seventh year Tuesday at the Museum of the Moving Image. The festival celebrates arts and film students from all five boroughs. It hopes to open doors for film students as they try to make their way into the industry.
