RALEIGH, N.C. — Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker's predatory towing proposal hit a roadblock, but he hopes to crank up his idea once again.
The Law and Public Safety Committee will recommend to the City Council that no action be taken on the proposed ordinance. In June, the committee voted down a proposal that would have banned towing between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Meeker has wanted to ban towing overnight in downtown Raleigh.
Meeker said earlier he will bring the idea to the full City Council on his own. He could do that at Tuesday's meeting.
