'Is this a f*cking joke?': Mayor of Los Angeles offers $20 discounts on parking fines to help those hurting because of Covid-19

Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti is offering $20 discounts on parking tickets if people hurting economically because of the pandemic pay their fines within 48 hours:

We're delivering assistance to Angelenos facing economic hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Starting Monday, with our new Early Pay LA program, @LADOTOfficial will offer a $20 discount on parking citations paid within 48 hours. https://t.co/jqG5kxudvi

No, not a joke:

This is not going over well, to say the least:

DRAG HIM!

This is hilarious. A $20 discount on tickets as pandemic relief. https://t.co/6tez15H3BR

beyond parody. TWENTY DOLLARS OFF PARKING TICKETS is the best COVID relief our government can come up with after they chose to enforce parking tickets https://t.co/cxKf0WV0yQ

Sorry, this is how Dems act:

Maybe instead stop using us all as ATMs. https://t.co/DzF6fg0m56

And that’s one way to distract your constituents from a story:

Read my two stories about how the Mayor of Los Angeles has covered up the sexual misconduct of his top aide.
