Chronicle publishes more $AFEclear letters

Again, the Chronicle is running quite a few letters to the editor on the $AFEclear topic.

There is one from councilman Michael Berry who isn't happy that the Chronicle's editorial over the weekend characterized the mayor as one who creates public policy, in private, with his own advisors; and there's one from an HPD officer who says that we would all be safer if broken down cars were off the freeway (he doesn't say why a police car on the side of the freeway isn't just as big a safety hazard), and then he writes this at the end of his letter, "Wreckers [sic] drivers are just trying to make a decent living by doing what the city law has enabled them to do." I don't think that argument is going to sway public opinion. I am sorry the wrecker drivers are caught in the middle, but the city law is flat-out wrong.

The rest of the letters express opposition to the $AFEclear program, and three of them would like to see a program along the lines of MAP.
