The Allentown Parking Authority board meeting, usually a quiet affair, brought out more than a dozen residents who complained of bullying and discrimination from parking enforcement officers.

Over the last two decades, the Parking Authority has fallen $630 million short in expected contributions to our schools. Last year, they literally gave $0.

Today, I addressed the PPA Board as part of Council's investigation into the Authority's finances and accounting practices.

Today: @HelenGymAtLarge is going to address members of the PPA Board following the @PHLCouncil hearing regarding their constant and ongoing scandals.

“Council said the investigation is linked to a $34 million secret fund PPA established to pay retiree health benefits. It’s not clear, however, if that's what prompted Petri’s firing.” https://t.co/9bfVjneQW2

Philadelphia International Airport is poised to cut ties with PPA after nearly 50 years https://t.co/T737gWhada

[Jon Geeting @jongeeting]

The airport parking has always been the big PPA revenue cash cow, even though they’re most known for their street parking role. Good time to talk about scrapping PPA for parts, assigning street parking to Streets/OTIS and selling the garages and parking lots
