The increase, approved unanimously by the City Council, was pitched by Mendoza as an alternative to raising the price of stickers as well as generating much-needed revenue from “scofflaws.”

How about we stop voting for people based on the letter next to their name and instead vote based off their personal beliefs and how they will represent you. Reddit seems to believe only Democrats care about the poor and minorities, but this is Democrat backed legislation.
