[edit] Ms. Barnette's poor excuse

"So there you have it, Albany: How and why people get their parking tickets excused, forgiven, fixed or whatever word you choose, is none of your business, according to Albany City Treasurer Betty Barnette.

It's a matter of medical privacy, you see.

That's right, Ms. Barnette and her lawyer, Brian Devane, offer what must surely be one of the most creative and lame excuses for secrecy ever to come out of City Hall in refusing to give the Common Council access to the written explanations that drivers use to get out of parking tickets."
