From a "Troubleshooter" segment reported by Judd McIlvain
on the KCBS 11 o'clock news, Los Angeles, November 22, 1996:
Los Angeles is facing a $100 million city revenue shortfall, and the
City Department of Transportation, Office of Parking Management, was
requested to increase ticket-writing performance by 10-13%. Its
administrator, Michael Inouye, estimated that the office could
increase revenues by $30 million over last year. That would mean
writing 227,815 tickets per month for the next 9 months to meet that
revenue goal. Inouye disputes that this is a quota.
