Cut spending? Never. San Diego City Council President SeanEloRiveraD9 wants to increase the price of the city's parking meters to boost revenue and fix our budget deficit. Full Story:
SAN DIEGO – Parking in the city of San Diego could get pricier as leaders explore new options to solve a looming budget deficit.
A new report out by the city’s independent budget analyst is suggesting ways San Diego can boost revenue with a focus on parking costs. Ideas include adding more parking meters, placing a business tax on rental car companies and adding parking fees for non-residents at major tourist destinations.San Diego is facing more than $350 million in projected budget deficits over the next five years, and spending cut proposals are nowhere to be seen.
Council President Elo-Rivera joined KUSI’s Hunter Sowards to explain why raising the price of parking meters is the best solution he can think of.Is Council President El0-Rivera’s proposal to hike the cost of parking meters in the city part of Mayor Gloria’s “Sexy Streets” campaign? Does Mayor Gloria support it? Is the budget deficit a result of the 101 Ash Street purchase?
Mayor Gloria’s office replied, “This report was put together by the office of the Independent Budget Analyst, which is independent of the mayor and reports to the City Council. Presumably, it was created at the behest of the City Council; I’m not sure. You should speak to the IBA or City Council President regarding its genesis and the City Council’s plan for action, if any.”
