What’s Next? Override the Placard?
The Post had this story yesterday. Update: Another story
All this talk about “placard abuse” is just rhetoric.
That’s why very few things get done or improve…it’s all just words and photos to make us think things are getting done. It doesn’t matter which group is in control – it’s all the same.
Look at the date on the Tweet
They have wasted a lot of time talking about this topic, but there really is no punishment other than losing the placard.
Streetsblog, usually loves to talk about placards was silent. They LOVE tweeting about Placard Abuse (see all of their tweets here), but not a peep or even a retweet of the article.
That means they only want to talk about some placards. Are they silent when it involves their friends? Hey Bay Ridge Override!
Transalt is another bike group. They produced this report about placards. Today they were silent about placard story too (no tweets or retweets of the Post story).
Not one local paper shared the story. Who owns the news? I waited until late today to write this because the local papers are all owned by the same company. Now we know who owns them.
The Bay Ridge “Override” Councilman won’t be able to talk about placards anymore. No one is buying that “he was pissed” (see The Post Story)….if that was the case….either Brannan doesn’t know his staff well or he’s been played.
Hugs,
