Mayor Susan Adamchak said if the federal government suspends its gasoline tax, Manhattan would lose out on millions of dollars.

“That is $2 million that comes to the city each year,” Adamchak said Tuesday. “That is money that we have been able to count on for the last several decades. But there’s a very good possibility that with the stroke of a pen, the president may do away with that, and it would leave us in a very serious position to not have those resources.”
