De Blasio’s NYC: Public school teacher gets parking ticket while picking up supplies to teach from home

When I lived in NYC during the blackout of 2003, I remember walking home uptown and seeing parking enforcement officers giving out tickets while ordinary citizens were directing traffic at the intersection which had gone dark:

So, where’s city management on this?

Just horrible. And I’m sure the cop was doing what they were instructed to do. But where does the buck stop @NYPDShea?

We suspect they’re under orders to keep giving out tickets:

exactly…they're ordered to do this.

Over to you, mayor:

You should fix this, @BilldeBlasio.
