To the editor<\/b>: Thank you, City Council, for taking more of my money (\u201cParking will soon cost more in Los Angeles. Here\u2019s what you need to know,\u201d<\/a> Oct. 6)! I can\u2019t wait to see what you put it toward next.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure the city is raising meter rates because it plans on providing my fellow Angelenos and me with better and more plentiful services, and not because it\u2019s trying to dig itself out of a hole it created. Some may argue that $14.4 million is not even a scratch at a $1-billion shortfall, but I say: How can you be against it when it\u2019s yet another regressive tax?<\/p>\n

To the editor<\/b>: By making people pay for parking on Sundays, the City Council has abolished the one day of the week that gave motorists a breather. It was a remnant of an easier-going Los Angeles, something to be cherished. The council seems intent on picking the public\u2019s pockets and further traumatizing folks \u2014 all to scrape up a paltry $14.4 million against a budget shortfall just shy a cool $1 billion.<\/p>\n
