City employee parking abuse down a little

From the Queens Chronicle:

The Chronicle’s Michael Gannon has been investigating illegal parking by city employees — or people passing themselves off as such — for about a year, mostly on the congested streets around Borough Hall in Kew Gardens and neighboring Briarwood.

On Gannon’s last surveys of the area, conducted over the last week, he still found unticketed cars with placards parked illegally: alleged cops in No Standing zones and blocking fire hydrants, for example. Not much improvement there. But what he did not see were the vests, patches and caps that had been used as substitutes. So there’s been a change, but more needs to be done. City employees have enough privileges as it is.

Michael Gannon is about THE most hustling reporter of all the Queens weeklies. The man deserves the Pulitzer Prize.

Here Here! More enforcement. They are the law, they are not above the law. No change to the abuse in Woodside.

That's because so many of them also have clergy passes. Check out the reverend, aka immigration lawyer who puts his free immigration newspaper in libraries

Take a look closer at the circle on the right side, it says police but is not a police placard
