Commentary
I’ve listened to a terrific video report by Channel 2 News, and disagree with every reason advanced by the Bloomberg administration for rejecting the new proposed laws. The rationale ranges from the police already carry too much equipment [what about the parking ticket warriors?], to an honest public servant should not be required to submit additional photographic evidence to support his/her sworn statement [Yea, right…and Tinker Bell just became a parking ticket warrior].
I agree with Transportation Committee Chairman, James Vacca, who said:
[alert type=”success” icon-size=”normal”]”If you ask me this entire issue of traffic summonses in this city has become a cash cow that the city wants to continue to perpetuate.”[/alert]
What do you think? C’mon, don’t be shy?
