State Rep. Darnell Brewer, a Democrat, has introduced a bill that would change how cities can collect late fees on parking violations—a proposal born from personal experience.
“He gave an example of where he got a parking ticket.
There were late fees and added things tacked on that amounted to 35.
The proposed legislation would limit late fees and administrative costs to no more than the cost of the original ticket.
She wondered whether Cleveland built in the “gotcha” late fees in its revenue expactations and now might have to go back and recalculate.
