More on Parking

An article in the Somerville Journal quotes Alderman Pero as saying "city officials can't give in to constituent concerns."  Huh?  Isn't this otherwise known as listening to the people who voted you into office?  And will vote you out?  I understand they haven't come up with the right answer yet, but this statement is arrogant and lame.

On what? Gas? That's the only excise tax that's remotely fair. I shouldn't be obligated to pay for your car even more than I already do.

You don't pay excise tax on anybody else's car. The city sends a bill to every owner who has a vehicle registered in the city.

I thought we were referring to the alcohol/tobacco taxes that are on deck. Carry on.
