- The nation’s e-bike buying spree continues, even without any real support from our government, as Kea Wilson reported.
- Two New Jersey members of Congress explained their opposition to congestion pricing because they want to make sure their well-off constituents can always drive in to see Springsteen on Broadway.

We’ll be back tomorrow. Thanks for your support.
