An association comprised of taxpayers and citizens and one named citizen, Aviva Patt, are seeking to sue the City and State Comptroller and Secretary of State over the privatization of parking meters in Chicago.
The Chicago City Council's December 4th, 2008 decision to approve Mayor Daley's proposal to lease the City's parking meters to a private party for 75 years prompted the proposed plaintiffs to seek the following:
i. Stop City Comptroller from spending money related to the city's privatized parking meter system
ii. Stop Secretary of State from spending money related to suspending driver licenses arising from fines or penalities from the city's privatized parking meter system
iii. Stop State Comptroller from spending money related to Secretary of State suspending or impairing driver licenses based on violations arising from city's privatized parking meter system
