Hypocritical politician of the day

Story.

A Boston city councilor who has championed a get-tough approach on illegal parking is himself a chronic offender, racking up thousands of dollars in tickets and repeatedly violating the resident-only rules in his own neighborhood.

City Councilor Michael Ross has gotten 115 tickets over the past two years, including 11 in the past year for breaking the resident parking restrictions in his Beacon Hill neighborhood.

He has also been tagged twice for parking in handicapped spots, once for blocking a fire hydrant and three times for having an expired registration, double-parking, parking in loading zones and violating the city's snow emergency restrictions.

"I get tickets just like everyone else gets tickets,'' Ross said . . .

Just like everyone else?
