The parking meter situation continues to go from bad to worse. Today the city brought in reps from the company so they could bash them and look like heroes. We can never forget that it was the Mayor and city hall that sold the parking meters in the first place. You have to ask why due diligence wasn't completed before the sale. The city is as much to blame on this one.
