evenue-raising disguised as traffic control and other quality-of-life matters have inspired the Bloomberg administration to introduce several initiatives lately that have already angered the public and are bound to keep them riled up. We just want New York City's citizens to know that, although it will often be a police officer's face you see when that $105 parking ticket comes your way, the cops are not to blame. They are just as unhappy as you, maybe more so. It's the city that has:

• Doubled Parking Fines
• Imposed Summons Quotas on Police Officers
• Allowed Precinct Manpower to Shrink
• Shortchanged the Heroes of 9/11 in Last Contract
• Reduced Essential Services

So when these things make you angry, as they most likely will, remember...
