Milwaukee Mayor To Intervene In Home Foreclosure Over $50 Parking Ticket

In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Public Investigator Blog of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:

• Mayor Tom Barrett said today he will work with the city treasurer's office to make sure Peter Tubic doesn't lose his home over a $50 parking violation. "While it is important to recognize the need to comply with rules and regulations, this is a highly unusual situation and I can't sit by and watch a man who is clearly suffering from mental debilitation lose his home because of a $50 ticket," Barrett said in a written statement.

• Public Investigator wrote a story in Sunday's Journal Sentinel about a disabled Milwaukee man who ignored a parking fine for four years which lead to a foreclosure on his $245,000 house last week.
