Oh, Thank You Mayor!
One week after dumping the chief-of-staff responsible for Chicago’s parking meter fiasco, Mayor Daley is extending an olive branch to motorists — or is it a twig?
At today’s City Council meeting, Daley introduced an ordinance authorizing his Revenue Department to void one parking ticket a year per vehicle.
But, there’s a catch: Tickets will only be nullified if they’re issued within five minutes of the expiration time on the pay box receipt.
Well golly gee whiz Dick - thanks for that.

Shop outside of Chicago and screw Daley!
Ooooh, goody! Now,does this mean me, personally, or each of my vehicles? Can I have six minutes' grace period, instead of five? Does this only apply on even numbered Tuesdays and Wednesdays?
What the HELL is going on here? Does this nonsense absolve him from the shockingly immoral 'lease' of our meters?
The man has lost it.
Proof-positive of his insanity!
Stick it up your ass Daley. I hope you get locked up soon for all your criminal activity. Also, fuck all you idiots who voted for him in the first place.
WHAT A FUCKWAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE BUT IAM SURE HE WILL NOT RUN HE HAS PROBLEMS AT 219 DEARBOURN YOU CAN BET ON THAT SO DOES HIS SON PATRICK THAT WHY HE IS NOT IN TOWN
How about not writing a ticket unless its been expired for more than 5 mins. Daley is counting on most people not fighting the 5 minutes. This way he can claim he did something when in reality he didn't.
I want our meters back!

a taxpayer
It sounds like there will be lousy maintainence on the meters timing clocks and the 5 minutes will cover the public beefs.
hahaha, hello mayor! I shop outside of Cook County completely. You so crazy!
Is this permitted under the city's contract with the meters' private owner, or is the money going to have to come from the general fund? Like when some of the aldermen wanted to reduce the meter enforcement times in their wards, and they had to pay the owner the difference in revenue out of their discretionary funds.
How can Daley dictate the policies of a private company?
Sumpin' TOLE me I shoulda stayed in today...
FUCK YOU SHORTSHANKS! You piece of shit. And fuck your suckhole BITCH Ginger Rugai from the 19 Ward and all her little merit kiss asses.-listening Brucey Boy? FUCK UUUUUUUUUUUUU
When I was a cop in Iowa there was a city ordinance in Cedar Rapids that tickets were 50 cents if paid within two hours of meter expiration at the PD. Obviously didn't raise a lot of $$ but great PR.
He can blow it out his AS*%^&%!
Michigan is voting to LOWER their sales tax from 6% to 5 1/2% to help ease the burden on citizens. Their natural gas prices went down this winter. They're only a hundred miles away and supposedly broker than us so they must have fewer crooks in office.

This mayor doesn't care about great PR, the only great PR I would like to see is when they find him face down in his office, cold and stiff.
I can't believe anyone in their right mind would even consider coming here, paying all that money to park AND having to run back and forth every coupla hours to make sure they don't have a ticket or didn't get towed. I would (and do) take a leisurely drive to the suburbs, find plenty of free parking and meander freely down the sidewalk, knowing I didn't have to do a fifty-yard dash back to reload the meter.
Every year I had a different criteria for the tickets I wrote. Once I only wrote to Gemini's. The following year if you had red hair, sorry Charlie! The last year was my favorite. If you had a bumper sticker on the right side of your bumper or those metal cutouts of naked ladies bobbing around in the back window, you were going down. I've always taken my fun where I've found it.
