This story today from Chicago and Fox News
12/2/08 CHICAGO (WLS) –– Drivers with parking tickets may get a break- if they pay up now. The Chicago Department of Revenue announced the city's parking and red-light ticket amnesty program, which offers discounts on the penalty portion of tickets issued before January 1, 2007. The program is available from December 1, 2008, to February 14, 2009. They have to be paid in full to receive the special amnesty terms. "Beginning today with this program, you will be able to save 50-percent, so with an original $50 fine and a penalty of $50 will be reduced from $100 to $75 with amnesty," said Bea Reyna-Hickey, director Dept. of Revenue. Boot , tow and storage fees for vehicles no longer in the city's possession will be waived entirely; and previously incurred payment plan default fees will also be waived during the amnesty. Granted, I'm no self-proclaimed math whiz, but 50+50=100, but pay only 75 isn't a 50% savings  What are they teaching in Chicago????

They make things sound better than what they really are. Well, maybe it's not a double talk. More like....false representation? |
