Sponsors drop controversial play
It's "Julius Caesar" with a Trumpian twist. The Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park stages its production with the main character not in traditional Roman garb but in a business suit with a long tie and reddish blond hair and a wife with a heavy Slavic accent. But some say it goes too far and that the classic scene where rival politicians violently stab Caesar in the back promotes violence against the president of the United States. Now corporate sponsors Delta and Bank of America are pulling their support for the show.

'Julius Caesar' as Trump
Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" is a political thriller and the version now being performed by The Public Theater in Central Park doesn't skimp on drama. In this case, though, the drama isn't about the plot, which was written some 400 years ago, but about the way the ancient Roman dictator Julius Caesar is depicted: in a business suit with an American flag pin, a long tie, and reddish-blond hair.

Congestion pricing
Driving down Manhattan's busiest streets could soon cost you. The New York City Council is debating a plan to implement congestion pricing. This has been tried before, but one advocacy group said the city could impose it with or without Albany's approval. Move NY campaign director Alex Matthiessen proposed a $2.75 fee on cars entering Manhattan's central business district south of 60th Street. Trucks would pay a higher fee while all for-hire vehicles would pay a congestion surcharge based on travel within the zone.
