Bloomberg Wants To Repeal Officials No-Tow Perk

103110tickets.jpg A day after it came to light that no matter how many parking tickets a politician gets, their official cars will never get hauled off to the pound, Mayor Bloomberg vowed to revise the perk. "The Finance Department is going to find a solution to ensure they can enforce against valid tickets in these cases. The standards have to apply to everyone," said Bloomberg spokesman Marc LaVorgna. Drivers without "official" plates with unpaid tickets of $350 or more face being towed, while officials with unpaid tickets have avoided that fate for over 20 years. Maybe they can tackle illegal parking placard abuse next.
