            regulations states: 
  
   "Except where specifically permitted

   park, playground, beach, swimming pool 
   or other park property or facility, nor

    Well, according to the article and taking the Mayor 
 at his word that "the law is the law", he needs to 
 either immediately order those who attended the 
 concert and can be proved to have broken the law, be 
 summonsed.     -OR- 
  
   Since this is merely a departmental regulation, 
 written at the discretion of a Mayoral appointee, 
 he needs no city council approval to rescind it! 
  
   So, which will it be?  Will he second and approve of 
 selective enforcement, knowing how ultimately wasteful 
 of precious city resources that will be, or will he 
 take a kinder and gentler approach, admit to the error, 
 correct it and promise not to do it again?
