Cuomo says he’ll act on recommendations from his inspector general, who’s expected to release her report soon. The placards placed on dashboards are issued by the state Homeland Security Department.
Cuomo says Wednesday he suspects the placards proclaiming the car is parked “for official police business” have been misused by some elected officials and state workers for 15 to 20 years. They are used to snag a good parking spot without fear of a ticket.
Way overdue!!
The last Governor that tried to fix everyone else’s problems ended up with quite a few of his own. I’m just sayin’
Now that he is Governor he should GOVERN, not investigate.
Mr. gov. Andrew Crummy. I would advice you to ratter consternate how to level the budget. Stay out of this one.
Abuses of power?! How about the parking gestapo?
We should all print official looking placards and put them on our dashboards. “Army of Hashem – Official Business” Better than the FOP garbage.
