Here is a story on the subject. Guess they got some advice from the Modesto folks.

What a story! It's fun to watch all the big chiselers go at each other.

yeah, I had the money figures way off... Gads, talk about cities chasing the dollar away. Unfortunately for this case, you'd think they would welcome most unexpectant revenues to supplement the current budget fiascos cities are having.

On a side note, I just got my renewal from DMV to renew vehicle registration, the standard fee went up from $30.00 last year to $40.00 and the VLF (vehicle license fee) deduction sure doesn't amount to much reduction/apprieciation from prior years. Also, I did make it just before the TRIPLE VLF fees went into effect, and my newer vehilce fees, which cost way more than the older car, was just about the same fees in renewing it. Somehow, I think they; government will find ways to increase costs of renewal fees upon the consumers anyhow. They should stop griping about the court costs and let the media come and go as they please. Tourism brings strange things to cities, at weird times. They should just enjoy it while they have to endure it!

Thanks for the artilce link. ;o)

Yikes, I think Redwood City is profiteering actually. I can see paying for a spot BUT within reason. Alms sounds like he's scalping the networks.
