While drivers who enter the city through the Lincoln and Holland tunnels would likely be exempt, those who cross the George Washington Bridge would not be.
About 300,000 New Jersey residents commute to New York City every day
The congestion toll could cost drivers $3,000 a year on top of tolls they already pay.
A plan to charge drivers a fee to enter Manhattan's core doesn't sit well with Reps. Bill Pascrell and Josh Gottheimer, and they have a message to New York: Give us some.
New York lawmakers have approved a budget plan that would levy a congestion toll on cars and trucks below 60th Street starting in 2021 to raise billions of dollars to support the beleaguered Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
At a news conference Tuesday near the bridge in Fort Lee, Pascrell called that "a raw deal for New Jersey commuters as it stands today."

"Share the money with New Jersey," he said. "They better get used to hearing it."
Pascrell, D-Paterson, and Gottheimer, D-Wyckoff, sent a letter Tuesday to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo asking him to share the proceeds of the congestion toll with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and NJ Transit.
HIDDEN COST: Here's how much more E-ZPass holders in NJ and NY pay in other states
HIGHER PRICE: E-ZPass holders in NJ and NY pay more in other states because each makes its own discounts
BRIDGE REPAIR: NJ is fixing, or plans to fix, the state's oldest and busiest bridges
"The needs of commuters in our region go beyond lower Manhattan," they wrote.
About 300,000 New Jersey residents commute to New York City every day, and they said those commuters would be paying the price of congestion fees and should reap the benefits.
Gottheimer said the toll could cost drivers $3,000 a year on top of tolls they already pay.
"That's a lot of money," he said. "That's outrageous double taxation."
Gottheimer said he is introducing legislation that would cut the amount of federal funding New York receives for transportation if it charges New Jersey drivers twice to enter Manhattan. Drivers pay a cash toll of $15 one way at the tunnels and the GWB.
"We can't let New York off the hook," he said. "New Jersey is guaranteed to get hosed."

North Slope producers update Parnell, legislators on gas pipeline
North Slope producers have provided a few more details of their plans for a large Alaska gas pipeline and liquefied natural gas project and briefed state legislators in Juneau Feb. 19.
In his State of the State address to the Legislature in January, Gov. Sean Parnell had requested a progress report from producers BP, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips as well as TransCanada Corp. a pipeline company.
Much of what was in the letter sent to Parnell Feb. 15 has been known, but the companies added important new details, including that a 42-inch pipe diameter has been decided on. Also, the acreage needed for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant at the southern end of a gas pipeline was larger than the acreage in a project outline issued last October.
Many other details of the project have also been settled on, but not the proposed location of the LNG plant, a matter of considerable interest to Parnell and legislators.
The letter to Parnell also reinforced earlier comments that changes in the state's oil and gas tax structure would be needed to make the project possible.
"As outlined in our letter of Oct. 1, 2012, a competitive, predictable and durable oil and gas fiscal environment will be required for a project of this unprecedented scale, complexity and cost, to compete in global energy markets," the letter said.
The state Legislature is now considering a bill, proposed by Parnell, that would restructure and reduce state oil taxes. Parnell has promised to introduce legislation on natural gas taxes next year if the companies continue to show progress on the pipeline and LNG project.
Senior company managers signing the letter included Janet Weiss, BP's new Alaska president; Trond—Erik Johansen, ConocoPhillips' Alaska president; Randy Broiles, president of ExxonMobil Production Co., and Tony Palmer, TransCanada's vice president for new developments.
The current plan, outlined in the letter, is to build a pipeline that would move 3 billion to 3.5 billion cubic feet a day of gas to a liquefaction plant in a southern Alaska port city, the letter said.
A large LNG plant would be built with three trains capable of producing 15 to 18 millions tons per year of LNG. A 400- to 600-acre site would be needed for the plant, which would also require two LNG storage tanks capable of storing 160,000 cubic meters per tank. There would be one loading jetty with two berths, the letter said.
Communities along the pipeline route would be able to take from 250 million to 500 million standard cubic feet per day for local use, from five takeoff points on the pipeline.
Estimated costs for the project, which were released in 2012, are still $45 to $60 billion, the letter said.
Parnell and legislators had hoped that the companies would include their preferred location for a south Alaska pipeline terminus and LNG plant location, but that information was not given.
The two most likely locations are Valdez, on Prince William Sound, which is also the terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, and Nikiski, on the Kenai Peninsula on Cook Inlet, near Anchorage, which is the current location of a medium-sized LNG plant owned by ConocoPhillips.
However, officials with the companies in Juneau said other sites for the LNG plant are being considered. A decision on a site could be made in the next few months, they said.
Parnell said he was satisfied with the report.
"This represents historic progress. Never before has a gasline project been so specifically aligned and described in detail by the companies that have the capacity to build, fill, and operate it," Parnell wrote in a statement.
Another request Parnell has made would require the companies to finalize an agreement to enter the pre-FEED stage – pre-front-end engineering and design – late this spring followed by a full season of field work this summer.
"By entering this phase, the companies will spend hundreds of millions of private sector dollars to advance the LNG project toward permitting and construction," Parnell wrote in the statement.
BP spokeswoman Dawn Patience said, "We believe an LNG option to deliver Alaska gas to global markets could be competitive and are optimistic about continuing to progress the project beyond the concept selection phase.
"While good progress has been made, there is significant environmental, regulatory, engineering and commercial work remaining ahead of us."

Online Article: Street Harassment Is a Public Health Problem: March 20, 2017
https://www.citylab.com/crime/2017/03/street-harassment-is-a-public-health-problem-the-case-of-mexico-city/520185/Street Harassment Is a Public Health Problem
Women who have been harassed may feel less trust in their community, with potential long-term impacts on mental health and well-being.
Lauren Ferreira Cardoso
"I actually don't remember when I was first harassed on the street, but I do remember when I first experienced it as an abusive act: I was an adolescent traveling with my mom in a crowded underground wagon, where men could easily touch women without anyone noticing and with little possibility to prevent it.
This was the experience of Lucía Vázquez, a researcher in Mexico City, Mexico. Unfortunately, her story is not unique.
According to a multi-country poll by YouGov, Mexico City ranks first among 16 international cities surveyed for physical and verbal harassment on public transportation. Street harassment, a form of gender-based violence against women, can include any act or comment perpetrated in a public space that is unwanted and threatening, and is motivated by a person's perceived sex or gender.
Violence against women in public spaces is not exclusive to Mexico City, of course. Experiences of street harassment—from being whistled at to being touched without consent—are reported each day on crowd-sourced websites like Hollaback and Safecity in dozens of other locations from New York and New Delhi, to Lawrence, Kansas and Lubbock, Texas.
There is still much to be learned about how harassment and feeling unsafe in public spaces affects the well-being of women and girls—a topic I focus on in my doctoral research at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Social Policy and Practice—but the global scale of these experiences is concerning. Studies documenting the prevalence of street harassment in more than 35 countries show it could have widespread health effects across the globe.
Street harassment in Mexico City
One of the latest studies on this issue aimed to understand the extent of street harassment and its impacts on women, girls and communities in Mexico City. All of the women in this study had previously screened positive for intimate partner violence, a prerequisite for inclusion in the parent study.
Paola Abril Campos, a doctoral student at the Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health, is a native of Mexico City. She said in an interview for this article:
"Growing up, I learned to fake a phone call to my parents to feel safer and avoid harassment. I learned to wear not the clothes I wanted, but the clothes that made me feel 'safe.' I learned to take quick detours during my daily commute. And I learned to put up with the impotence I felt when harassed."
Her experiences motivated her to conduct a study on street harassment that was published in January in Salud Pública de México, a journal published by Mexico's National Institute of Public Health.
In this study, Campos and colleagues surveyed 952 women who were seeking health care in Mexico City's community health clinics. More than 60 percent of the women, 62.8 percent, reported experiencing at least one form of street harassment in the past month alone. For one in four women, 26.8 percent, the abuse was physical.
The study found that the harassment, or fear of harassment, had negative impacts on the daily routines of these women. Nearly 70 percent reported some type of disruptions in their mobility, including missing, being late to or having to change jobs or schools. And yet, Campos said, "The costs and consequences of street harassment to women's lives have remained invisible."
The study also found that street harassment may diminish women's sense of connectedness and trust in their community. Social isolation from one's community can have long-term implications for well-being and can lead to chronic disease and poor mental health. Therefore, street harassment may contribute to these other public health concerns.
For the women in this study who were also victims of intimate partner violence, violence is a threat in both public and private. Jhumka Gupta, a global and community health professor at George Mason University and senior author of the study, stated: "Comprehensive interventions are needed to ensure women and girls' safety both in public settings and in private spaces."
Emerging solutions
There is some political will to address the issue in Mexico City. In conjunction with local authorities, UN Women has launched the program "Safe Cities and Safe Public Spaces for Women and Girls," which is promoting women's safety through, among other mechanisms, providing women-only buses throughout the city.
The city's mayor, Miguel Ángel Mancera Espinosa, is also supporting an initiative that distributes whistles to women that they can use when someone harasses them. The idea is to "break the silence" and bring attention to harassers.
Street harassment is a common problem in the United States too. A recent nationally representative survey found that 65 percent of U.S. women have faced street harassment at some point in their lifetimes. These numbers may be rising.
The Southern Poverty Law Center reports that there has been a post-election uptick of harassment and intimidation of many marginalized groups, including women. However, in February a new bill aimed at preventing street harassment in Washington, D.C. was introduced to its city council. It seeks to "eradicate street harassment in the District of Columbia through education, awareness, data collection and culture change." The bill is broad and inclusive in its definition of street harassment and comprehensive in its approach. Will other cities follow its lead?

The Philadelphia Tribune: People Share Their Stories at Anti Harassment Rally

Social Action group Fostering Activism and Alternatives Now (FAAN) Mail hosted its 5th annual "Stand Up Speak Out" anti-street harassment rally on Sunday at Love Park.
The rally was a kick-off to the global campaign "Meet Us On The Street: International Anti-Street Harassment Week," and gave men and women the chance to express themselves about street harassment — defined by those who have experienced it as catcalling, making degrading statements, and harassment of minorities by police.
"I hope people continue sharing their story, that more men join the conversation and think about their role, and I hope people speak up," said Nuala Cabral, co-founder of FAAN Mail.
The rally included a set of platforms for people to dialogue on the issue and activities for youth and passersby to join in and reclaim a "safe space."
Women and men were recorded on video as they spoke about their experiences with street harassment; some posed for photos with white boards, on which were written the statements people have said to them on the street, or inspirational messages; Chalk was provided for people to write their feelings on the grounds. And a "catwalk" was set up to let people show how they would walk, if street harassment did not exist.
"It gives people a chance to share their stories without having to speak, but to have a positive image that encapsulates how they feel," said Niamba Baskerville, a program coordinator and "photo booth" volunteer.
The double Dutch facilitator and a partner in the event, Kerrin Simmons, of Tuff Girls, said the activity was their way of advocating for a safe space.
"It's good females are taking action to make everyone realize what we deal with," said Gabby P., 17. "We don't deserve it." Gabby participated in the "photo booth" and "chalking" parts of the rally.
She has constant issues with street harassment.
"I've been yelled at, called out of my name, instead of being approached like a gentleman. If I turn down the catcall, I become a name to [insult] my complexion. I walk away."
Christian Hayden, 27, a youth worker from Southwest, said his perspective of street harassment changed after participating in the rally. He has been a victim and perpetrator.
"I've been a victim [because] of the ways I have been stopped by the police multiple times, and as a perpetrator, when I was younger there were things I would do," he said. "I think women of color are beautiful, but it's also my responsibility that I support them in being comfortable in public spaces and that may mean not saying something or turning around."
Cabral said FAAN Mail will continue hosting community workshops on the issue, and working with other organizations to educate the public.

Most people strive to find the right work-life balance in sales. What does this mean? It means finding a way to excel at your job without neglecting your personal and family life. Finding the right balance can be challenging. Here are some tips to help you achieve the balance you are looking for.
Disconnect. Though it can be difficult, one of the best things you can do to achieve a good work-life balance is to disconnect when you are home. Unless you are needed to be on call 24/7, or for certain hours after your normal work hours, it is a good idea to unplug and disconnect from your work phone and email. Though it can be tempting to check your email or voicemails, it is disruptive to your personal and family life.
Plan. Don't let your sales requirements keep you from making plan. Plan to attend a party, movie, or intramural league and then feel good about it. Nobody is as indispensable as needing to say no to everything and commit every waking hour to work. Be sure to take time for yourself and not feel guilty about it. Being good in sales means you need to be good at time management. Manage your work and personal time and you will be re-energize and rejuvenated to be the best in your sales job.
Exercise. Another great way to ensure you are focused at work is to take some time to exercise. This is a great way to stay healthy and give you time to recharge. Committing to some personal work out time can make you feel better when you are at work and make you a better sales professional. And don't forget, exercise can keep you healthy which means you will miss less work and be more productive when you are there.
Establishing a good work-life balance can take a change in mindset and a commitment to your personal life. We all tend to feel more committed to our jobs at the expense of our personal and family life because, well, it's what pays the bills. But having a good balance between work and your life can help you be better at both your job and your personal life.

Scots police chiefs in safety claim as they issue go-slow orders for more than 600 patrol cars
Officers have been ordered to not drive at higher speeds while in patrol cars with four or more people 'in the interests of safety'.

Police Scotland have admitted hundreds of patrol cars have been placed on a go-slow when carrying more than three people.
Senior officers were forced into the move after discovering weight restrictions on 628 five-seat vehicles could be breached because of "standard equipment" on board.
Assistant Chief Constable Kenny MacDonald revealed officers were ordered not to drive at "higher speeds" with four or more on. He denied a lack of insurance cover was behind the move.
He said: "Police Scotland self-insures and, following a review, we issued an advisory note for a small number of our vehicles recommending that, in some cases, it was inadvisable for more than three people to travel while driving at higher speeds.

UK's biggest Lotto winner Colin Weir honoured by Partick Thistle and Greenock Morton fans with minute long applause
"This is in the interest of safety due to the weight of the police equipment, which must be carried as standard.
"This has a minimal operational impact and, for events or incidents where greater numbers of officers are required to travel together, larger police vehicles with an increased weight capacity are utilised.
"The safety of all officers, and of any individuals within our custody, is of paramount importance.
"We are currently reviewing our fleet strategy to ensure it meets the needs of a modern police service."
Police Scotland has around 3500 vehicles, meaning around 18 per cent are affected by the weight restrictions.
In a Freedom of Information release, the force admitted 628 cars "are only insured or deemed safe for three people".
Tory shadow justice spokesman Liam Kerr said: "These revelations are symptomatic of a police force which isn't properly supported or funded by the SNP government.
"Hardly a day goes by where we don't see another damaging impact of Police Scotland being one of the worst-funded forces in the UK.
"And while this may not have a direct impact on the public, it still places more strain on an organisation that is already struggling to keep its head above water. Clearly the SNP government thinks it can save some cash by placing these restrictions on vehicles.
"But in reality, it only serves to make the jobs of hard-working police officers that little bit harder."

Earlier this year it emerged the force has more than 250 cars over a decade old.
A total of 870 cars, about a quarter of the fleet, have driven 100,000 miles or more, with 126 covering between 150,000 and 200,000 miles.
The average vehicle was four to five years old with up to 50,000 miles on the clock.
The figures were obtained by the Liberal Democrats under an FOI request.
Andrea MacDonald, chair of the Scottish Police Federation, which represents rank and file officers, claimed some "inadequate" police patrol cars were "held together with duct tape".
In Kirkcaldy , Fife, she said only two of nine police vehicles were roadworthy and one had clocked up 140,000 miles.
