Quinn Wants City To Ease Up On Restaurant Grading Fines
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn reportedly is
looking to lower the fines city restaurants get for health violations.
The Daily News says Quinn is pushing a bill that would
make changes to the city's restaurant-grading system.
Sources tell the paper the changes could include easing
penalties for violations that don't involve food and waiving fines for
restaurants that appeal their grade and later get an A.
If it passes the Council, the bill would need Mayor
Michael Bloomberg's approval, but that's far from a sure thing.
The News says the city is on pace to pull in $48 million
in fines this fiscal year -- and the bill could cut into the revenue.
