It’s an explosive move by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy in the already contentious battle over congestion pricing.

Murphy is now threatening to use the Port Authority as a bargaining tool to keep New Jersey drivers from paying more.

As CBS2’s Jessica Layton reports, the traffic getting in and out of the city is a pain – almost a kinship – felt by commuters from both New York and New Jersey. But now the possibility of a double toll on the so-called “bridge and tunnel” crowd through congestion pricing, it’s even worse for those on the Jersey side.
