“I encourage you to go to the next diner with me, I’ll probably be there in the morning,” she said. “Sit with me and watch the people come over and thank me.”
Polls support her observations: A Siena College survey in April found that New York City residents opposed congestion pricing, 64 percent to 33 percent, with suburban respondents disliking it even more.
But public sentiment has improved following the implementation of congestion pricing in other cities. And even this attempt to underscore her ties to everyday New Yorkers seemed to be rooted in a bygone city where diners still reigned, fueling a perception that her western New York roots had shaped a political outlook anchored in the past.
Indeed, the governor’s seeming empathy for motorists has some history. Twenty-six years ago, as a city councilwoman in the Buffalo suburb of Hamburg, Ms. Hochul gained notoriety for her opposition to commuter tolls on the New York State Thruway.
