How lucky is Michael Ross?

Wednesday dawned with the dashing city councilor about to become a laughingstock. Then, well, you know.
But watch your back, Mr. Ross. Amy has her eye on you:
None of this means I'm forgetting about you, Michael Ross, Boston City Councilor, and your parking violations. For shame!

Is Councilor Ross's car REGISTERED IN BOSTON?
At a community meeting last night, there was much discussion of the parking ticket tempest, the big question being - WHY NO RESIDENT STICKER???
The discussion was that Councilor Ross's car is registered as garaged principally in Newton, - ergo no Boston resident sticker.
Does anyone know how to verify that?
If true, he is paying his annual excise tax into Newton's coffers, not Boston's. And I guess it must be a struggle as a single guy making $87,500 to pay the Boston differential on car insurance.
One possible way to find out
If you can get his plate number, go to
http://www.cityofboston.gov/excise/
and type it in (no spaces between the left and right numbers/letters, though). It'll either provide a link that lets you see how much he owes or tell you the number isn't in the city database (in which case, you'll know his car isn't registered in Boston).
