Parking Reform Los Angeles: Stop taking advantage of the people of Los Angeles

Los Angeles is fraudulently taking money from the seniors who help build this city.

I have a friend 70 years old who received a $60.00 parking ticket on a street cleaning day in her Hollywood neighborhood.  The problem is they don't do street cleaning in her neighborhood on the days stated on the signs. They don't do street cleaning at all.  People have sat outside their homes with camera's rolling to see if they ever clean the streets.  Nothing!

This is Fraud to state on a street sign that the city is street cleaning when their not!  Well she lost the ticket and forgot that she even received the ticket.  When she went to the DMV to renew her registration, they informed her that she had an unpaid ticket.  She asked how much the ticket was, and they told her that it was $195.00.  Her $60.00 ticket was now $195.00.  Los Angeles should be ashamed of themselves.

This little old lady could not afford to pay the ticket, so now her registration was going to go up as well.  She receives a very small Social Security Check, that will only pay for 80 percent of her monthly living expenses.  She was so upset because she couldn't drive her car.

Her registration went from $83.00 to over $300.00, how sad.

She pleaded with the DMV clerk with no avail, and not to mention, they were mean to her.  This has got to stop Mayor Garcetti.  The DMV clerks need to learn to take the HEAT, a common saying in customer service.

H - Hear the customer out
E - Empathize
A - Apologize
T - Take responsibility

People living in poverty already, and being taken advantage of.

Here in Los Angeles we pay some of the highest taxes in this country, and you turn around and screw us, when it comes to parking our cars.

If you're gonna post no parking for street cleaning then clean the streets.  Two days a week is a little excessive when the work is not being done.

I'm a veteran and they are also mean at the VA hospital.  These GOVERNMENT WORKERS need to learn how to be nice to the customers.  SHAMEFUL!

Joe and Teresa Giudice to Plead Guilty for Fraud, Other Charges

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars Teresa and Joe Giudice are expected to plead guilty in New Jersey federal court on Tuesday, sources briefed on the case confirm to ABC News. The couple was indicted on multiple counts of fraud last summer, including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, making false statements on loan applications and bankruptcy fraud. Sources tell ABC News that Teresa Giudice is expected to plead guilty to four charges, including at least one count of fraud. She is potentially facing two years in prison, but the final decision on that will be made by the judge at sentencing. Read: 'Real Housewives' Stars Teresa and Joe Giudice Charged With Fraud Joe, 43, had also been accused of failure to file tax returns from 2004 through 2008, a period when he allegedly earned nearly $1 million. The plea deal will not keep Joe, who's not a US citizen but from Italy, from being deported. After conviction, US immigration officials get to decide if they want to proceed with sending him back to Italy. Teresa and Joe Giudice Slapped With Additional Fraud Charges The news comes as a surprise since at the time of the indictment, Henry Klingeman, an attorney for Teresa Guidice, 41, said in a statement to ABC News that she planned to plead not guilty.
