Quinn Proposes Solution for Bad Muni-Meters Behavior

Last Updated on November 13, 2017 by Lawrence Berezin

Will Quinn’s laws change bad muni-meters into good muni-meters?

Once upon a time, a long time ago, when my daughter was four years old, I asked her to stand in the corner when she behaved badly_ a “time out.” One day I came home from work and found Julie standing in the corner. I asked her why she was standing in the corner? Julie replied:

“I was bad and you weren’t home, so I put myself in the corner.”

Kudos to NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn for standing the bad muni-meters in a metaphorical corner!

Quinn’s muni-meter solution

Quinn is planning to work with her colleagues in the NYC Council to formulate a Bill to re-program all the muni-meters in NYC.

“People make mistakes. We shouldn’t be taking people’s money when they make a mistake and it’s a very simple fix, all we need to do is reprogram the Muni-Meters,” Quinn said.

Quinn will propose:

• If a muni-meter cannot print a receipt, it will not be able to grab your money
• If you attempt to feed the MM on a day/time you aren’t required to pay for parking, the muni-meter will not be able to steal your money

Commentary

Wow! If Quinn’s solution sees the light of day, it will be great for the NYC driving community. What will we do with our extra cash?.
