CNSNews.com - Obama’s Envoy in London Won’t Pay Traffic Congestion Fee, Either: "(CNSNews.com) – The new U.S. ambassador to Britain, like the Bush-appointed envoy before him, will not pay London’s traffic congestion fee. The revenue dispute between the U.S. government and city authorities in London has been going on for four years, with no resolution in sight.
Advocacy groups in the U.K. are astonished that President Obama, whom they consider much more environmentally friendly than his Kyoto Protocol-rejecting predecessor, will not reverse the stance.
The State Department confirmed in a statement Monday that the ambassador switch will not affect “longstanding” U.S. government policy not to pay the traffic levy."
