So cash-strapped Nassau County is finally going to pursue the $48 million owed by red-light camera and parking scofflaws by hiring a New Jersey firm to boot and tow ["Nassau County on traffic scofflaws: Give 'em the boot," News, Feb. 22].
What bothers me is the statement that vehicles will only be booted or towed from public locations.

In addition, why was a firm from out of state chosen?
