City May Raise Fine For Overdue Tickets

Scofflaws may have to dig deeper to pay for overdue parking tickets in Spokane.

Today, the City Council will consider raising the fine for overdue tickets from $20 to $25. The fine for people who pay on time would remain $10.

Budget writers say the change would net the city an additional $60,000 a year, based on 12,000 people paying late fees each year.

The council meeting starts at 3:30 p.m. in City Hall. , DataTimes
