Vicky adds: Let's cap everything we don't like, starting with interest payments, then salaries. If your friend who was towed knew anything about city finance, he/she would be much angrier about subsidizing the rent for Saks 5th Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Target, etc. Those charges amount to a lot more than $200, year after year, but he/she doesn't know he/she is getting ripped off -- because those charges are unidentifiable, buried deep in his/her property tax bill. The fastest and easiest way to cap the city's wild spending is through a charter amendment. I'm game! Vicky Heller North Oaks REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
