I agree with Anon. With the union getting involved then this looks like a collective bargaining issue in which case it is a pure compensation issue. These cops should be careful for what they wish for. They might end up being surprised with what they get.

If the union begins to get involved in this then it is going to look more and more like their members should start paying taxes on their free parking benefits. Given that the average garage around city hall is charging 500 to 600 per month, this form of soft compensation confers a substantial economic benefit. IRS taxes these kinds of alternate compensation measures and the recipients of the parking placards should start talking to their accountants so as to be informed as to their potential tax liabilities.

If the public school teachers are New York's Brightest, what are the CUNY faculty?

So PD reduced their placards by 20,000 and now issue 43,000. Sounds great. They have 38,000 cops. Who gets the other 5,000?
