Isiah Carey goes on a parking rant:
This is the site [sic] that just kills me…people parked at meters in downtown Houston that are victimized when the the meter maids show up out of no where with the blue bags. The clueless driver then finds himself at a meter that’s now off limits. You get a fat $65.00 ticket. It happened to me a month ago. The city of Houston should place up signs saying “Hey Dummy, even though you paid for this spot ten minutes ago you’re still breaking the law and you’re gonna get a big ticket.” I think it’s a scheme by parking enforcement to dig deep in our pockets. City Council Members where are you – make an ordinance for proper signage warning us poor Houston drivers that you’re rolling into a trap.
He’s got pictures, so follow the link. Maybe Carey can stick a camera in the new Parking Commission members’ faces and ask them what’s up. Then they can put their hands up to shield their faces while they run to their cars and he can chase after them. It’ll make for a great news story!
UPDATE: Carey follows up with a response from Liliana Rambo, the city’s head of parking enforcement.
