>>causing at least one lawmaker to call the design a slap in the face to the disabled.

I love it when special interest groups collide!

They forget that hybrids are not affordable by most poorer Americans and many middle class Americans. The extra 5 Grand adder is too much.

So, in effect, the parking spots are for the pretentious rich who want to feel good about themselves. So they are vain, too.

Hybrids trump handicapped at liquor store

And why shouldn’t they? Once Obamacare is implemented what other purpose will the handicapped parking spots serve?

"...Mollica said the placement of the parking slots was intentional. He explained that the spots for LEV and hybrid vehicles are close to the store to assist with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification requirements, a federal designation of energy efficiency and environmental design..."

Ah, government.
What can't it do? ;-)

When you park in a handicap spot, the city can write you a ticket. If I park my SUV in one of them envirohippy spots while I buy a 6 pack of Bud, what can they do about it?

Under obamacare we won’t have many handicapped people for very long, so maybe the store is just trying to stay ahead of the game.

The hybrid parking space is part of an environmental certification PROGRAM....which means they got tax breaks and/or real dollars for "recognizing" hybrids.

In other words, it's you and me paying for those damn hybrids.

Close to 50% of the people using the handicapped spaces are scamming the system IMHO.

I see nothing wrong with this.

Anyone with one of those POS cars obviously has some kind of handicap.

Great idea! Now, in the winter, I can park my diesel F-350 in those spots and plug in the block heater!

I saw a hybrid yesterday that was the size of a golf cart, it is going to fall apart if there is a fender bender with an evil SUV.

I guess we should encourage a hefty tax deduction for environazis to buy these cars, we can pay for them to self-exterminate.
