Some people just don't think before they speak.
Here you have a simple case of a politician yammering about something with NO PLAN for replacing the system. I can only surmise, this nonsensical yammering was done just for attention seeking. The idea of just letting a grocery store sell "City Stickers" is beyond absurd. The current City Clerk replied to how UN-thought-through this yammering was when he said:
"Del Valle said he has used the office to put City Council meetings on the Internet, opening city government. The state Legislature created the office to be independent of the mayor’s office to be a “point of access for the public” to learn about the actions of the City Council, Del Valle said. It would take a change in state law to abolish it and would result in no savings because the job of selling vehicle stickers, parking permits and keeping track of the City Council would have to be transferred — along with the employees to do it — to other city departments, Del Valle said.
For its $8 million budget, the department brings in $100 million in revenue, Del Valle said."
