Police upset over parking placard ticket quota
From CBS 2:
Stunning charges Tuesday night claimed that the city is establishing a new parking ticket quota system going after drivers with government-issued permits.
As CBS2 Political Reporter Marcia Kramer reported, city cash registers are apparently going to take in an estimated $6 million more from tickets issued to city workers who abuse their parking privileges and park illegally.
De Blasio made it clear that when he said he would hire 100 new traffic agents and establish a new 16-member NYPD permit abuse squad, it would be paid for with ticket revenue.
And? If you're abusing your position, you probably should be fined double.

Sounds pretty clever---issue thousands of extra permits, then crack down.Lots of revenue.
Great. About time.
Those government employees need to be fired asap.
Hammer the workers to pay for the freeloaders.if you are a city worker take mass transit. If late,just get the ruand route number and reason for delay.
Only problem is this is going to mean that many more people competing for legal parking spots.
Of course there's a quota. When something can raise revenue by force, there's always a quota.
