Once again, reality crashes in on leftist fantasy.
God, how I loathe such idiocy. Like when the Sebastopol, CA, City Council insisted on buying the Fire Chief a Prius instead of a gas-powered SUV. (Yes, this really happened...). Even the local Toyota dealership was against the idea, and said so in a letter to the Council, noting that such a vehicle was not designed for the kind of use it would be put to in a public safety role. They forged ahead, regardless, and bought the f’ing Prius. The Chief resigned.
