Came back two minutes later and had $20.00 dollar parking ticket (obvoius who ever gave me the ticket was probably all of 50 feet from. I'm from out of state so I paid the ticket within 12 days. Just receive ...Read More d in the mail a letter stating that I owe another $55.00 dollar for a late fee. Was to pay the ticket in 3 DAYS!!! CASH in an envolpe is acceptable???
