AP: NYC mayor restricts idling, but his SUVs do it

QuoteNEW YORK (AP) - Mayor Michael Bloomberg has an ambitious environmental agenda, but it turns out he's running afoul of his own anti-pollution policy.

The Associated Press has found his SUVs idling all over the city, from about 10 minutes to over an hour. In one week, the AP spotted the mayor's Chevrolet Suburbans idling for long periods at least eight times.

The mayor signed a bill earlier this year strengthening the city's anti-idling law. Advocates say it's the toughest law in the nation because it reduces idling times around schools to one minute.

A Bloomberg spokesman says the city is doing its best to reduce idling. The mayor's SUVs are driven by his police detail and are classified as emergency vehicles, so no laws have been broken.
