Parking rules don't apply to the ruling class

From the NY Post:

Councilman Lew Fidler (D-Brooklyn) -- the frontrunner to fill the disgraced Kruger’s Senate seat in a special election March 20 – is up to his old tricks routinely parking on a sidewalk corridor in the plaza behind Borough Hall and then walking across the street to work at his Court Street law office.

But unlike October 2010, when the Post reported he had illegally parked his 2002 Infiniti I35 routinely on the public plaza the previous two years, Fidler now pulls in with a larger, sweeter ride -- a 2011 Infiniti FX35.

All this while kicking up his campaign to fill the southern Brooklyn Senate seat held by Kruger, who stepped down last month after tearfully pleading guilty to collecting nearly $1 million in bribes.

“It’s insane that [Fidler] would do this when there’s already a lack of trust over politicians in his district between Kruger and [the sexting scandal that led to last year’s resignation of former Rep. Anthony] Weiner,” said a stunned Brooklyn pol.

The city says only borough-president office vehicles can park in the reserved section of the plaza, between Court and Adams streets and next to Columbus Park.

I would suggest if you didn't read the NY Post " Page Six " Article on Jan 10th , 2012 you will have a better idea of why Fidler stills parks illegally.
Fidler already pissed off BP Marty Markowitz by talking to a community activist( who BP Marty Markowitz has issues with ), on the way out from a dinner at a restaurant in Coney Island & Fidler just dosen't want to lose his parking space near Borough Hall.
Lew Fidler is a follower not a leader. He bends under pressure.
Not good, Lew.

Hey the fire department on Northern blvd and 82 street allows their guys to park personal vehicles on the sidewalk on northern and on 82 street leaving the designated spots open and people forced to walk in the street blocking business entrances. This has been going on forever.
