She's actually defending her moronic decision with this shit?...

'New Jersey Customers' Driving to Midtown Diners, Hardware Stores

I've made the joke too many times already but The Onion sorely needs a sister site with real news that's Oniony. They could call it something like The Garlic News Network.

Hochul also said she cared about getting rid of congestion, because New York City has an awful lot of it.

"Congestion is a problem in places more than just in Manhattan. Have you've been to Brooklyn lately? Queens? These are places where it is tough to get around," Hochul said. "We need a smart strategy, and I don't want to wait until gets—I wouldn't even want to wait another year. Why don't we start taking steps now to address the issue of congestion?"
