Sue the Democrat Party. They caused this and they’ve got deep pockets.

Tell these idiot consultants that people in Hell want ice water. The people in Hell have got about as much chance at getting ice water as Detroit has in making revenue off these increased fines and enforcement ideas.
I don’t go to places that don’t have Free Parking.
Mr. Brown - Asshole and stupid too.
Does he think that anyone will open a business in Detroit if their customers can get a $100 or more parking ticket?
Now you know why Detroit is such a shit hole. It started with Comrade Coleman Young and now his successor, Mr. Brown.
Where did they get these guys, “Stupids R Us”?
Great solution!
The solution for the left is always more force, more tyranny, more skulls cracked!
Never more liberty, freedom and less government.
raise parking fees and fines?
Sounds like a great way to drive customers to the suburbs for their shopping pleasure.
Why would anyone go to Detroit for any reason??
