Bring Your Quarters

Don't forget, as part of Mayor Daley's attempt to sell off every one of Chicago's assets to fix its budget "crisis", the city sold off its parking meters which resulted in the loss of all "parking meter holidays". So if you're parked at a metered spot today, you had better dip into the laundry money and pump quarters into that meter or you're going to start your new year with a parking ticket.

Since he sold off the meter revenues for a one-time windfall, this does nothing to fix the budget crisis in the long term, and just gives Daley more of our money to piss away on his buddies (*cough*2016*cough*).
