Council Debating Tickets

For the blow by blow, go to ACO.

Here is my favorite exchange of the night, from the TU.
At one point, Rosenzweig objected to a phrase that called the city's failure to buy a new computer system for writing tickets when it knew for years that its old one was about to become obsolete the "worst example of government bureaucracy and inefficiency."

Others were adamant the indictment remain.

"If you want to call it government bureaucracy, I won't object," Morris said, "but I think that's a kind description."

Councilman Joseph Igoe suggested the wording be changed to call it "the worst miscommunication" -- to which Councilman Corey Ellis replied: "That's what bureaucracy is, people don't talk to each other."
Well said. Point, Ellis. And for anyone who has ever dealt with the city on an issue that required one department to know what the other was doing, I'm sure you will agree one of the biggest inefficiencies in this city is that no one talks to each other. One department has no idea what the other is doing. And often, no idea what they are doing either.
