Wow. I really have to stop reading the Sun articles.
"In fact, it's darn right prompt service the parking enforcement officers provide. They even have storm uniforms for them. Instant and relentless. This city has zero tolerance for people parking a couple of extra minutes and rip millions out of hard-working citizens every year as a result.
This city seems to have more tolerance for a city council which allows its sidewalks and roads to be in such obscene conditions -- and even blame the taxpayer for it.
The service doesn't seem to be quite as prompt and instantaneous when it comes to plowing roads, salting them and maintaining the ferocious sidewalks."
Hmmm. I wonder if it could be something to do with the simple fact that roads are much harder to plow when you have people illegally parking on them in to run in for a coffee?
Of course the solution to all of this, according to Joe Warmington, is to cut the office budgets of councillors.
