More $$$ Shortages

Tickets up, but revenue down?

• Money collected from Chicago parking tickets is down ... way down.

  Revenue dropped nearly $4 million this summer compared to the same time last year.

  That's interesting especially considering that city officials say they handed out 12,000 more tickets this summer.

  Last week, the Web site theexpiredmeter.com reported the city has started booting cars with more than two unpaid tickets in an attempt to collect some of that money.

Trouble in River City.
