We’d say “good morning” but it’s the afternoon here in NYC. But this newsletter, like congestion pricing, is better late than never. But as Gersh explains in his intro to today’s headlines, we’re crossing our fingers that “late” still means “happening at all.”
As a side note, there’s been a lot of news about a bill under consideration by the City Council: Intro 606.

Dive into the news as you ride safely into your weekend.
