What else does Councilor Ross need to learn?

Well! Michael Ross, fashion-plate city councilor, turns out to also be Michael Ross, fashion-plate parking-ticket scofflaw. Must be nice to be able to get parking tickets dismissed because you're a city councilor. Of course, you run the risk of getting caught abusing a city policy that lets councilors seek dismissal of tickets issued while they're on official business (several of Ross's tickets were issued after midnight, even though Ross lives eight blocks from City Hall, where he gets a free space).

The thing that intrigues me about the story is this quote from the Back Bay/Beacon Hill councilor:

"This was a regrettable error, and I recognize that I have a responsibility to ensure that my own actions are held to a higher standard," Ross wrote. "I have since corrected and settled this matter and have learned from this process."

Makes you wonder what other common-sense ethical standards the councilor needs to bone up on.
