CITY COUNCIL is considering letting Liliana Rambo’s parking enforcement employees and the Mobility Response Team authorize tows of illegally parked cars.
The genius who thought her expertise could get Houston a bargain price of $7,500 for each new smart parking meter (whoops — they cost Houston $10,000 each), and who now complains that too many of the expensive meters are broken and her employees can’t keep up with repairing them; the genius who decided to solve downtown’s parking problem by eliminating free parking for people with legitimate handicapped placards; the genius who held town hall meetings with suburbanites to teach them how to park downtown correctly; the genius who handed out parking citation books to volunteer citizens with predictable results; and the genius whose department stopped monitoring the parking meters in a five block area around HPD headquarters…THAT genius’s employees will now have the authority to tow vehicles.
What could go wrong?
