... that the city purchased the wrong parking kiosks. It appears that the only currency the LUKE COSMO COIN P2PE CL SOLAR parking kiosk will accept are quarters, not paper bills.
In its effort to rid the city of the "TYRANNY OF THE QUARTER" and all those fusty parking meters demanding quarters, the city spent $139,000 on 16 parking kiosks that do not accept paper money. Sure, you can use your phone or your credit card to pay for a parking space, which most people will do (if the kiosks ever get activated). But if that's not how you swing, then you had better show up to Hudson with a few quarters in your pocket or car. And be sure to bring more quarters than usual, because the price to park per hour will double (if the kiosks ever get activated)!
Mark my word: THIS EFFORT TO CHANGE FROM METERS TO KIOSKS WILL BE A HUGELY EMBARRASSING BOONDOGGLE THE LIKES OF WHICH HUDSON HAS NEVER HAD. AND FROM THE LOOKS OF THE NAME ON THE INVOICE FOR THE "LUKE COSMO COIN" KIOSKS, WE WILL HAVE "TOM DiPLETRO" TO THANK FOR GETTING THIS SHITSHOW STARTED! OF COURSE, THE KIOSK ROLLOUT IS NOW IN MISHANDA FRANKLIN'S HANDS, SO LET'S HOPE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CHILD REARING (SHE IS VERY PREGNANT AGAIN) DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF A SMOOTH TRANSITION AWAY FROM PARKING METERS AND TO ALL THAT INCREASED PARKING REVENUE JEN BELTON AND TOM DEPIETRO HAVE BEEN PROMISING US FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. LORD HELP US!
The 16 parking kiosks, made by a company by the name of T2 located in Indiana, were purchased late last year from a company by the name of Integrated Technical Systems (ITS) located in Connecticut.
