Gov. Kathy Hochul has issued a 12-page list of legislation that will take effect in 2023, including minimum wage raises and changes in how you can cast your ballot.
Good morning. It’s Tuesday, the first workday of the new year. We’ll look at a few things that changed over the weekend — besides the calendar.
This morning or maybe tomorrow, George Kaloudis will punch four digits into a keypad at his gas station office.
The big green numeral on the sign out front will change to 3.199, from 3.059, making the new price of a gallon of regular one-tenth of a cent less than $3.20. And the so-called gas tax holiday will be over at his service station in the Long Island hamlet of Albertson, N.Y.
Officially, the gasoline tax holiday was swept out with the old at the end of 2022 amid warnings from service station owners like Kaloudis that prices at the pump would edge up again.
As for what came in with the new year — because that “out with the old” line in the last paragraph demands an “in with the new” line here, doesn’t it? — Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office sent a list of legislative provisions that took effect on Jan. 1. The list was 12 pages long.
The new year also brought higher tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway. They increased 3 percent, bringing the price of a ride from one end of the turnpike to the other — from the George Washington Bridge in North Jersey to the Delaware Memorial Bridge in South Jersey — to $20.01 at peak times or on weekends.
