yesterdayBergen County has joined the fight against the controversial New York City congestion tax.
The county filed a brief on Jan. 8 to support the state's legal action against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
In the brief, the county pointed to increased air pollution and traffic in the area, and it claims the new pricing plan is designed only to benefit New York City.
