NYC Charter Revision Proposals: A Hobson’s Choice | CityPragmatist
NYC Charter Revision Proposals: A Hobson’s Choice CityPragmatist: "We welcome your comments."
How can we vote on Question #2 on the NYC Charter Revision? This question is comprised of a hodgepodge of issues! And we are expected to vote either YES or NO on the entire list of disparate items?
This does not constitute a free and fair election process but rather is an indication of our "currently" elected officials who seem to be doing the voting equivalent of cramming everything under the bed. How insulting to the people of NYC!
I believe that my right to vote freely and fairly is hampered by this patchwork of issues. In a fair voting process, I would vote Yes on some of these issues and NO on others. What is it that our "officials" are trying to hide with this ram-rod jumble of issues in Question #2?

A news clip of interest
http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/investigative/nyc-parking-ticket-judges-20100722
Essentially, PVB judges are complaining about quotas, being pressured to find motorists guilty, and that Chief Judge Mary Gotsopoulis has been hiding higher court rulings that favor motorists so that judges won't know they should dismiss certain tickets. Great footage of Mary running away from a reporter. Maybe a certain other Chief Judge might get the same journalistic treatment?
