In Lincoln Heights, Town Hall meeting on complaints in services and fees

I received an announcement from a friend who passed it over to me. There's a Town Hall meeting scheduled for Monday evening in the Senior Citizens Center on Workman St. just south of North Broadway adjacent to the playground.


Items to be discussed include Parking Meter fees quadrupling and hours changes impact on people and businesses, cuts in mental health and CVS pharmacies in communities.



The RSVP date was Friday, but attendance to such meetings is usually encouraged and a call will answer that question. (click the image for a bigger picture for easier reading)


I know those Dollar-an-hour meter rates now are making people either think about parking in advance and avoid such areas or just payout more and even then, have exposure to more expensive tickets if you are short on coins and slow on returning. Ah, those crafty council members.

Garcetti even commented that the more expensive parking rates would be a way to get people avoid using cars so much and instead, use public transportation methods, so it gives us less traffic on the streets. That is the way they think about you and me, ladies and gentlemen. You see that it's not very well. And Garcetti is running for re-election in his CD, along with all odd-numbered CD's on March 3- Tuesday.
