I don't know about that AG ... he's not saying a word about it ... and from what I understand there will be a story about this (the taxes and garbage fee) in the paper ... not sure when though.

Hell they should jump on the waived citations also ... I would if I were them ... Joes been less than kind to the TImes ... and pay back is a bitch

20 parking tickets...that's crazy...come on Janet had one.....ummmm big difference!!

On this date in NEPA

10 years ago, city council requested there be an investigation into a recent ticket-fixing controversy. It asked DA Michael Barrasse to look into the matter.


From today's Scranton Times newspaper.

Why won't the current city council ask the DA's office for a investigation into the ticket-scandal that was exposed on DohertyDeceit?

Is it because it  allegedly involves a current council member(Sherry N Fanucci)+current council solicitor(Amil Minora)+ several current and past employees in the DA's office.

I feel that parking enforcement is being selectively enforced.

I wasn't expecting you to engage in a intelligent conversation about a possible scandal that is effecting financial revenue in Scranton.

Well you could start by writing an intelligent statement. Your diatribe should have been: I wasn't expecting you to engage in an intelligent conversation about a possible scandal that is affecting financial revenue in Scranton.

Common mistake with using 'a' instead of 'an' before a vowel. And the old affect vs. effect syndrome. Maybe you should turn on the Spelling and Grammar check on both the DELL note-book and black-berry instead of relying on your sixth-grade trailer park education. I know you're our next prophet and all, but before we give you the kys to the compound you need to show us some intellect. 

You slither up the hall and post rants and vulgar laced diatribes and now expect us to take you serious. Give me a break.

And for the record I think it's wrong for anyone to get away with paying their parking tickets regardless of who they are.

 

Ok McGoof you seem to want to get serious on this subject.

I think if you take the time to read the entire thread here you will see that we do not condone the fixing of parking tickets for anyone. You park in the wrong place then you should pay that ticket. Now you little investigation when taken a step further netted Janet Evans and Joe Pilchesky ... then it seemed to end ... why is that?

I think that Glenn made a very valid point that perhaps more people would pay those fines if their names were published at the time the fine were issued.

As for a full blown investigation into this ... it's parking tickets ... I do have to agree with Ag ... perhaps time would be better spent investigating the Single Tax Office ... or the hiring practices of the SSB ... I can't say that I am surprised at this practice as people have been doing this for years and years. I for one would think more work goes into having a ticket fixed than it's worth ... how much does it cost for a parking ticket if you pay it in the first 24 hours? $15 ... I don't even know ... but a lot of time and energy could be saved if you just get yourself in there to pay it right straight away.

How about coming up with something that hasn't been discussed to death ... this is old news and quite boring ... but kudos to you for trying to be serious for a moment.
