Here are our picks for the top stories that affected NYC and our state this year. It's been a very eventful year.
Congestion Pricing Dies in Albany, April 7: Mayor Bloomberg's controversial plan to put fees on vehicles entering Manhattan was modified to move the border down to 60th Street (from 86th Street) and advanced through the City Council. But dreams of additional mass transit revenue, not to mention $350 million in federal funding, went up in smoke when Assembly Leader Sheldon Silver announced the Assembly rejected the plan. Mayor Bloomberg, who had the support of Governor Paterson and Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, thought it was "shameful" and cowardly that the Assembly didn't even vote on the plan.

Every day I give thanks that my wife and kids are healthy and I still have a desk waiting for me. Good luck to you all in 2009!
Thank you for a Year in Review that didn't make me want to barf. Here's to 2009!
You missed the best story of the year... How can you not include the President's near death by shoe? Love him or hate him that had to be one of the top three by my estimate.
