Brooklyn Councilman Vincent Gentile has reintroduced legislation to change the law so that on any day that ASP rules are suspended, so are meters.
The councilman says he has bipartisan support for his bill, his office his office conceded that even if the bill makes it out of committee and passes the council, Mayor Mike Bloomberg would probably veto it.
