Drive on!

December 28, 2009  |  New York City

Considering that the majority of New Yorkers do not own autos, its interesting to see how much influence the car lobby has been wielding lately. City Council just changed the law to give drivers a five minute grace period from $65 parking tickets (we’ll feel their pain when they get $1,000 tickets, like vendors do.)  At the state level, there was an huge outcry over a $25 charge for new license plates.  Poor babies!
