Syracuse.com - January 14, 2025 - NEW YORK (AP) — A new toll on drivers entering the core of Manhattan brought modest but measurable traffic reductions to New York City’s heavily-gridlocked streets in its first week of operation, according to preliminary data released Monday by the state’s transit authority.

In the days since, total traffic in the tolling zone has dropped by 7.5% — or roughly 43,000 cars per day — compared to the equivalent period last year, Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials said.

Patriotledger.com - January 14, 2025 - My turn to receive the latest fraudulent "smishing" scam arrived at 9:27 a.m. Sunday when a text message appeared on my iPhone.

A colleague, Scott Bowdridge, of Walpole, had warned me three days earlier. I was just a bit late on the apparent robo messaging circuit.
