Sen. Whitmire working on legislation to end $AFEclear
State Sen. John Whitmire has told KTRK-13 that he is preparing legislation that will bring an end to Houston's $AFEclear program:
When the state legislature begins its new session Tuesday State Senator John Whitmire will work to outlaw Houston's controversial new Safe Clear towing program.
Senator Whitmire is preparing legislation that would outlaw the tow program altogether. Whitmire says the six minute rule to remove vehicles is too stringent.
Whitmire would like to see a policy in place like the one used in Bellaire where drivers have up to four hours to remove their vehicles.
"I saw a young lady on the West Loop frantically trying to change her tire before a wrecker truck got there. She was safely off to the side, so that ought to be the test -- can you do it safely and timely like they do in other cities?" said Senator Whitmire.
Let's hope he is successful. If you would like to send Sen. Whitmire a note of encouragement and thanks, here's the link.
