Lets just say that traffic tickets are non-existent for three or four months...what’s that relate to in lost income for the city? And the bigger question....how exactly would they react in a year if they were missing $100 million in cop-generated income (loot might be a better word)?
Well, I recall that under Dinkins, he planned specifically to raise revenue to fix the nYC budget by increasing citations and fine issuances by police.
