The FDNY says they expect to plan a raise about million dollars they respond to accidents across the city they responded 14,000 last year. But this is going to be a tough sale?. We spoke with a lot of New Yorkers tonight who seem dead sad against this idea.
The last thing some motors wanted to hear about was another bill.
"They are hitting us very high in our pocket. We are as struggling as it is, as you know."But you involved in an accident, if the FDNY gets its way, you could get charged when the city's braves come to the rescue. It's all about saving money, the city agency is try to close huge budget gaps. The FNDY is proposing what amount to a menu of different potential charges. $490 for a crash or car fire with someone is hurt. $415 for a car fire without injuries. $365 for a crash without injuries. A spokesman says quote "right now if you're at fault at an accident or a vehicle fire, you get a free ride. And that should not be borne by the taxpayers". "What do you think when you hear that?""Just not fair, no.""You don't think it's fair?""No, it's not fair."Some motors wanna to put breaks on the idea before cage is on. "I don't see the perpese."Tonight officials in the city tell us "We gonna search for other ways to shift costs away from overburdened taxpayers and towards accountable parties.".
And just be clear, those how are at fault will have to pay up but the FDNY is expecting a lot of people will pass the bills along their inssurance companies. But the inssurance companies at least some of them are already saying we won't cover it expected this debate to a tensive affair? leading to a public hearing sometime early next year.
