City tries to shame parking violators into paying up....Flame-On

(6/09/03 - PUEBLO, CO) — Shame on you if you don't pay your parking tickets -- at least in Pueblo, Colorado.

The city is trying a little public humiliation to get scofflaws to pay up. The names of people with ten or more outstanding tickets are published on the city's Web site and broadcast on its cable TV channel.

A little adverse publicity seems to be working. Municipal Judge William Alexander says about 25 people have paid since a warning letter went out last month. One business owner made good on more than $300 worth of tickets.

Pueblo officials estimate the city is owed about half a million dollars in unpaid parking fines.

Date: 6/9/2003 1:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 10722    Finding a place to park is just getting so ridiculous these days, I don't think that makes you a real "criminal" if you get a parking ticket.

Date: 6/10/2003 8:55:00 AM  From Authorid: 17275    They should put a limit on how many tickets one can have then if they arn't paid , revoke their license until they do pay up!!!
