Parking Violations Bureau Los Angeles Parking Enforcement Dishonest illegal unethical deceiving scam rip-off Los Angeles West Hollywood Santa Monica California

Just in the last couple days I came across an article I kept from the Los Angeles Times written by reporter Patrick McGreevy and dated Feb. 1, 2005.

It's entitled, "Parking Windfall Angers Officials" with a subheading "Los Angeles authorities say the city did not receive its fair share of fines collected by two firms. One contractor is $20 million richer."

You'd have to search out the lengthy article on the Internet or with the LA Times, but essentially it reinforces what you've said about the private company. In this case it tells of how the City of Los Angeles coffers (the city's taxpayers) were ripped off to the tune of $20 million in parking fines by the private company.

It was due to both negligence on the part of the City by not enforcing its "letter of agreement" between the City and the private company; and the private company, Affiliated Computer Services, playing dumb and quietly pocketing the money in violation of the agreement.

The reporter said, "Officials with Affiliated Computer Services did not return calls." I don't know if or how this matter was ever resolved, but it was a good indication of totally irresponsible city government in the City of Los Angeles.

Is it any wonder that there's been such an influx of people moving from Loa Angeles to Arizona in the last couple years?
