On the other hand, how can anyone put a price on life. It is better safe than sorry. Let's pray that we will not hear SORRY. It appears that Mayor Bloomberg belives that a life is worth three bucks!

This announcement only means they will be able to charge even more. The taxi garage he spoke at has been charging over $700 for crown vics and close to $800 for hybrids for over a year now.
