New York, NY —

A new version of Mayor Bloomberg's congestion pricing plan could mean compromise in Albany. The Republican-led Senate introduced an amended version of the bill, which would create a board to oversee the program.

REPORTER: The board would consist of 4 members appointed by the mayor, the governor and legislative leaders, instead of the Transportation Authority Bloomberg originally wanted. But, the Democrat-led Assembly isn't ready to sign on quite yet. Westchester Democrat Richard Brodsky says he's still not convinced.

BRODSKY: It's not a compromise. It's legislation by a central committee, which we learned about in the comptroller race. It doesn't make a lot a sense and it avoids the difficult problems which we're paid not to avoid.

REPORTER: Albany's legislative session ends this week. Governor Spitzer, Mayor Bloomberg and other supporters of the plan are pressuring lawmakers to make a decision before then. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn endorsed the plan yesterday.
