Among other complaints, parking officers allege that they have been instructed not to enforce parking laws in some affluent neighborhoods of the city.
Municipal Employees Association president Judie Italiano thinks the investigation will prove the worker’s allegation.
“Where I hope it’s going is to get the wrongs righted in this division, to get these people safe and to help them be more productive for the citizens of San Diego by giving them the tools they need to do their job,” Italiano said.
The commission authorized the investigation last month after Italiano presented complaints from city parking enforcement officers.

I know! I can’t believe they would leave those unfortunate people to have all sorts of parking problems in their neighboorhoods. Why should only the poor get the benefit of parking attendants when the rich pay so much more in taxes?! Unbelievable.

I am a native of San Diego. Ihave through the years watched city officials place or increase fines aimed directly towards the working class. It’s unbelievable that the city of S.D. uses the meter maid carts to add to its revenue. It’s apparent the money does not go to fix any parking problems i.e. punishing offenders, or construction improvements to problem areas. San Diego has been corrupted by the wealthy residents and I wouldn’t doubt there aims are to push lower income residents away from the beach communities intentionally by burden of there costs to live here. Revenues collected here are city income not neccesarily to make S.D a better place.
