You just don’t get it Lisa. It has every thing to do with bias and stealing money from those who have. They are not going to tax/fine/steal from folks that live in the jimmy carter houses because they know they don’t have any money!

Does that me an acting law director would not have to be a lawyer or an acting police chief not a certified peace officer. I don’t think that you can ignore the legal requirements of a position by simply making a person the “acting” commissioner.

If I received one of these tickets, that’s how I’d challenge it, since, in spite of all the complaining, the tickets do seem to be authorized by municipal ordinance.

That is true Jenny, I think the way that is being bypassed is she is the “acting” Commissioner.

Doesn’t the Municipal code require the Commissioners of Streets, Bridges and Harbors be a professional engineer? I do not believe that Sue Frederick is a PE.

I wonder which councilman/woman will show the needed courage to get this stupid law taken off the books.

But then again, this could be the cash cow Toledo city leaders are looking for…I rest my case.

Being born and raised in the country, I love gravel drives. Not only is there an old-fashioned homey feel and look to them, but ecologically, in my opinion, they are superior.

Parking tickets are issued somewhat selectively. Down at Jefferson and Huron where the new arena is, I was told the following by a parking meter ticket-receiver. This past winter when the construction was at fever pitch, the construction workers themselves did park in pay-lots. And if anybody parked at a meter and went over, they were almost certain to get a ticket. HOWEVER, every day all winter long [I was told], certain contractors were allowed to park their commercial vehicles unattended and left for long periods – in front of the parking meters – where it says “NO PARKING”. These vehicles were never ticketed, and it was obvious to other workers parking in the lots, that the meter-ticketers had been instructed to leave these commercial vehicles alone.

Hmmm… what about the Grass lot on the corner of St Clair and Lafayette?(next to the parking lot) I live on South St Clair and have noticed that nearly every time there is a home Mud Hens game this lot is filled with cars. So if this is right they are all illegally parked….and I am preatty sure they are charging those people to illegally park in the grass. I will have to call the Fink on these ones.

HistoryMike, if you look at the comments, Mike came back and recommented, and when you look at some of the pictures/video where these citations happened? Some of them were not on gravel driveways, they were on gravel parking spots…

Teddy, maybe but considering it is my blog? I can make the rules. One of which is to try to get people to stay on topic. Anyone who doesn’t like my rules? Doesn’t have to participate and they’ll find their comments gone and end up not having their comments posted if they are off topic.

if you are tired of editing off topic material then maybe you shouldn’t run a blog…
