Snow emergency

If you are as outraged as me about the City of Somerville handing out $50 parking tickets for violating a snow emergency when... THERE WASN'T A FLAKE OF SNOW ON THE GROUND, I encourage you to write to Mayor Curtatone to express your views:

I really wonder sometimes just how Pat's Tow lucked into such a sweet deal with the city. I can't believe how much they charge to get your car back. I've been towed in Cambridge before and had it cost 1/3 less money, not to mention Cambridge also charges less for the fines. The snobby part of me thinks Somerville is a bit too big for its britches; the cynical part of me thinks this is all just revenue-based law enforcement. The net effect is like, "Hey, sodomize my wallet, please? Thank you, sir, may I have another?" Feh.
