HOCHUL TO FIGHT FOR CONGESTION PRICING (if you live in New York state): +1 (518) 474-8390 or https://www.governor.ny.gov/content/governor-contact-form SAMPLE SCRIPT: I’m a New York state resident and I am reaching out to urge Gov. Hochul to continue supporting New York City’s Congestion Pricing plan and fight against the federal government’s insane attempts to shut it down. This policy has already decreased traffic congestion, reduced travel times for people of all income brackets traveling into the city, increased business-friendly foot traffic in the city, and raised much needed revenues to improve our public transportation system. We cannot allow the federal government to bully our state into reversing a popular and effective policy, and I ask that you continue doing everything in your power to make sure the policy remains in effect.

Those documented lobbying efforts, however, related to opposing the construction of high speed rail networks in Texas, rather than Florida (Wanna get away?). Florida’s high speed rail hopes were instead dashed by then-governor, Rick Scott, who in 2011 rejected billions of dollars from the federal government on offer for the development of a high speed rail network. Scott and his wife, as a complete coincidence, would go on to invest some of their personal wealth in a fund with links to privatized high speed rail development in Florida.
