New Yorker upset with congestion toll is met with dismissive attitude by ex-NY State Senator.

A New York City man who was upset about the new congestion toll received criticism from ex-NY State Senator Alessandra Biaggi, who advised him to "get over it."

On Monday, Biaggi reacted to a video on X featuring an Upper East Side resident named Andrew, who shared how the congestion toll negatively impacts him, stating that he had to pay $9 to travel around the block. Biaggi emphasized the need for a solution to address the toll's impact on Manhattan residents.

Biaggi responded to the situation with "Lord Jesus, get over it" on X.

Many users on X felt that Biaggi's response was insensitive.

One user asked, "Why do you hate working people so much, Biaggi, and what is your net worth?"

Alessandra Biaggi was mocked by another person with the statement, 'Get over it you poors!'

Not everyone has the financial means to purchase this. How can people overcome this obstacle without being insensitive?

The ex-senator's subsequent posts to X were met with "get over it" comments from users, reminding her that her previous comment did not resonate with them.

Biaggi stated that congestion pricing is a contemporary approach to financing subway improvements. He emphasized that subway riders are aware of the urgent need for updates that require funding, which should have been addressed earlier.

Biaggi stated that New Yorkers should be angry about New York Gov. Kathy Hochul allowing Andrew Cuomo to use millions of taxpayer money to retaliate against his sexual assault victims.
