Looks like if you are parking in Metro’s parking lots you are going to get hit with some higher fees starting today.
According Metro’s website, starting today Metro will begin collecting fees two hours earlier on weekdays and end one hour later on Fridays. Saturday parking isn’t getting off scot-free either. Metro will be charging $2 for parking on Saturdays starting Feb. 10. But, good news, parking at Metro’s lots on Sundays and federal holidays still won’t cost you anything..at least for now.

Solomon says he does and says things on the radio that most others won’t and believes that this type of honesty and straightforwardness is something that would help him if elected.
