While the Hatzalah placards doesn’t really bother me, even if is the wife’s car, after all she gives up a lot by not having her husband around, what bothers me is the following. You have plenty of cars that have the D.O.T. placards stating that they can park at meters for free, tying up a spot for days at time, no need to move during alternate side parking, causing the spot not being cleaned. The problem is that most these placards are giving to people in our community with pull with politicians. There is no reason why XYZ worth 100 million dollars should have one simply because he’s Buddy Buddy with _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _!!!

My husband has a chaver of his from his mesivta days, who is high up in the NYC Dept of Finance, he is the equivalent of a NYPD Lieutenant. He told my husband about the corruption of issuance of all these phoney placards being issued. He explained that some vehicles are registered under a handicapped relative, who has no connection with the vehicle, but is issued a handicapped placard. It goes on and on…..
