MAYOR MIKE'S PARKING PERKS

The Post, through its exclusive and excellent reporting, has uncovered the real reason for congestion in lower Manhattan: City Hall ("Getting a 'Pass,' " May 20).

Mayor Bloomberg, in his misguided plan to put tolls on traffic into Manhattan, has missed an easy and effective solution to the problem. If only he would have looked in his own back yard.

If his plan were to be implemented, how much would we have to spend taking photos of license plates of city workers and then have them exempted.

Let Bloomberg reduce the congestion caused by city employees by 75 percent, and then let's revisit the issue. You never know, the whole problem might disappear overnight.
