“Think about DiscoverPB’s incentives: They want more for their members and more power to get more for their members. They do not act in the interest of the residents, unless those residents are local member business owners. They’re the ones who want to “set up and maintain” the parking meters and permits so that they can funnel more cash into their interests and have more control to give themselves even more money and power. ”
