Only in Gotham:

The city where corruption never sleeps.  Let me set the scene.  Angela
D'Urso, a legal secretary wrote letters to the Transit Authority pointing
out dangerous (and skanky) conditions in the 183rd Street station on
the No. 4 line earlier this year.  March 12th, the TA responds with a
letter that no such conditions exist.  Ms. D'Urso says BULL-FLATULENCE
and takes her camera to the station to give visual evidence to the
bean counters in the TA.  Faster than you can say NYC IDIOCY, 
two plainclothes TA officers give her three tickets totalling $125.
One for taking photos (yes, there is even a rule about taking photos
in the subway), and one for "breach of peacce."  Mayor Dinkins in 
his continued begging and pleading tour says, "The federal government
has failed us."  Dear Clueless Mayor, I urge you to look for failed
government closer to home.

Ah the joys of one party government.
