Towed Over: City Council Working WITH The Towing Company

I saw an interesting story about a cooperative relationship between the city government and the towing companies in Cleveland. Rather than just let things go to chance or caving in when the public complains, the city council is working WITH the #towing company to decide fair rates.

Granted, the rates are not as low as the city wants or as high as a company wants BUT it keeps good contractors from walking away due to costs and protects the public. The amount of conflict and complaints this will prevent is immeasurable and would be a great model for other cities.
