From the Post-Gazette:
Councilman wants to slash number of city take-home cars
Pittsburgh Councilman Ricky Burgess today proposed reforms to the city’s process of assigning take-home cars, aiming to cut the number of such vehicles from 60 to as few as seven.He presented a list of employees from the mayor to the facilities maintenance supervisor who take Chevy Impalas, Dodge Intrepids, Ford Explorers and other vehicles to their home driveways each night.
This seems like a no brainier and a great way for the city to be more efficient. Burgess want’s to make sure that cars are where they are need and not just used as perks.
The legislation would deem the mayor, directors of public safety and public works, and chiefs of police, fire, building inspection and Emergency Medical Services as automatically eligible for 24-hour vehicles.
Luke will get to keep his car, so do you think this type of reform will be supported by others?
