RFID systems, and Federal, it seems, is beginning to round out its ITS approach to the marketplace. They told me at a meeting last year that their goal was to have a complete product line for the municipal/governmental market with communications, parking, security and traffic systems all from one vendor. This acquisition puts them a step closer in that arena.


Stuck On Stupid (Posted Jan. 11) It seems there is a parking probleminHalifax, Canada.There


just isn't enough parking downtown, and people are complaining to the merchants about the lack of available space. Of course, the local government is adding to the problem by ticketing those that stay over the time limit. The key, however, is in the first line of an article in the local


rag about it: Hardly a day goes by thatMike Campbell doesn't get a parking ticket outside his downtown Halifax eatery. Is there anyone on the planet who doesn't see the irony in this


report?Mike is complaining about a problemhe is, in fact. causing. As correspondentMark put it so aptly, "I just shakemy head."


Here’s a MSM Scoop… An ace Chicago Reporter has “discovered” that the company


that has leased the city’s parking spaces is going to be compensated if the city decides to shut down the spaces either for street fairs or construction or whatever.OMG another parking scandal, or is it? Let’s see – I rent some space for my hardware store. One day


my landlord calls me and says“John, I’m going to have to seal off your front door for a month while I make repairs on the roof. Sor- ry” So, I’m just supposed to go fishing for those four weeks and lose any income. NOT – Naturally I would expect some compensa- tion from the landlord. Likewise Chicago Parking Meter should receive some com-


pensation when the city gets the bright idea to have a Saint Swith- en’s Day parade and block off 1,000 meters for the day. After all, the bid was based on so many meters generating so much revenue based on thosemeters being available for use.Most probably snow and acts of God had to be taken into consideration by the bidder, however the whims of a city government can’t be. It’s not only fair, its good business.Too bad our heroine, the ace


reporter, doesn’t know anything about business.This is a non story. JVH You could have read these entries when they were originally
