Parking in the City of L.A. is serious business. It’s wildly expensive too. So if you get caught using your position as a city official to park you three cars in a city lot for free, prepare for the torches and pitchforks, my friend.
If the mob doesn’t get to L.A. City parking manager Jose Flores first, the city just might. It’s currently probing Flores’ dubious parking habits after a CBS investigation caught him storing three of his vehicles in a city-owned Pershing Square lot where spaces are as rare as sapphire and cost $190 to $250 a month.
CBS estimates Flores could owe as much as $20,000 in back pay for the scheme. One of his cars, a Ford falcon, has been sitting in the lot for nine years.
Flores was first caught by a ticked off witness who reported it to the city. The city parking manager has since admitted it was a “mistake.”
Gee, ya think?
