LMFAO THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ACCIDENTALLY SUBMITTED A LETTER TO THE COURT ADMITTING THEY’RE PROBABLY GOING TO LOSE THE LAWSUIT TO STOP CONGESTION PRICING

these guys are so incompetent it’s unbelievable

The Court Is Unlikely To Uphold FHWA's Stated Rationale for Terminating the CBDTP
Agreement
The Secretary provides two reasons why the CBDTP is not an eligible pilot project under the VPPP statutory language: (1) the program constitutes impermissible "cordon pricing," which is not authorized because it does not offer a toll-free option, and (2) the level of CBDTP tolls has been set primarily by the need to raise revenues rather than prevent congestion. Neither of these reasons is likely to convince the Court:
First, with respect to the rationale that "cordon pricing" is not authorized under the phrase
"congestion pricing" or "value pricing," we have been unable to identify a compelling legal argument to support this position. As you are aware, the legislation that enacted the VPPP, Section
1012(b) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), Pub. L. 102-240 (1991)
(23 U.S.C. § 149 note), as amended by Section 1216(a) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21s Century (TEA-21), Pub. L. 105-178 (1998) (when the term "value pricing" replaced
"congestion pricing" in 1998, the two terms were used synonymously), and Section 1604(a) of the Safe Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), Pub. L. 109-59 (2005), does not define "value pricing." Under Loper Bright Enterprises v.
Raimondo, 603 U.S. 369 (2024), the Court will not afford the Secretary's current interpretation any deference, and will engage in its own interpretation of whether cordon pricing is included within the term value pricing. The factors that the court will look at in making this decision point towards the conclusion that the type of cordon pricing utilized in the CBDTP is included within the terms "congestion pricing" or "value pricing."

Loads of turkey tail mushrooms popping up on the beech log – that log won't make it through the winter.
