Outside of the mayor’s office, that is. Despite The New York Times reporting a 47-0 vote in favor of prohibiting the city’s sanitation department from applying the stickers to cars parked in the way of its cleaning crews, the Bloomberg administration was steadfast in its support of the “shame” stickers.
