Overzealous Parking Authority May Finally Be Reigned In

The Jersey City Parking Authority doesn't hesitate in slapping the boot on cars parked in downtown zones, and that's a problem according to Councilman Steve Fulop reports the Journal. First time offenders often find themselves booted and forced to pay a $110 fine in addition to a $42 ticket, even though the parking authority is not authorized to boot first time offenders in most zones. The arbitrary enforcement of parking rules means huge revenues in the way of fines.
