New York To Lose $73 Million Over CDL Dispute

1 week ago
New York is set to lose more than 73 million dollars in federal funding after the U.S. Department of Transportation said the state failed to revoke thousands of questionable commercial driver’s licenses issued to immigrants.

An audit found many licenses remained valid long after drivers were authorized to be in the country, prompting federal officials to order a full review that they say New York has not completed.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the action is about roadway safety, while state leaders argue they are following the law and plan to challenge the decision.
