Congratulations on earning the Pulitzer Prize for local reporting and recognition for two more projects in investigative reporting and explanatory reporting! Your ninth Pulitzer so far!! Well done all! 🎉

why? they’d make more money from ppl who can afford the tow fees over and over. It’s usually a lot of work to go through red tape, which is why it isn’t in every city. US is crazy. Public transport is pretty cheap where I live - from free to not much more than free. Invest in yr infrastructure!

Tow truck companies are worst than slime! In a country where a car is a necessity,towing companies should be regulated enough to guarantee fair practices!!

Many of Americas laws are regressive and deliberately punishing and vengeful pieces of legislation to favor the interests of their writers and donors. It’s the result of capitalisms inherently corrupt nature.
