Cash strapped NYC to raise $66M issuing traffic tickets

New York plans to add 200 more ticket-writing traffic agents to raise $66 Million for the cash-strapped city.

Staten Island will be spared - for now. Manhattan will get 100 of the new agents. The other 100 will be spread out across the other boroughs.

Better be on your best behavior behind the wheel in New York.

NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said the ticket-writing traffic agents the in Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. They will not be deployed right now on Staten Island.

The city thinks it can raise an extra $66 million this way.
