(La Crosse, WI) — The appeals process for people getting a parking ticket in La Crosse can now be handled online. This is a natural extension of the software which lets customers pay their city utility bills on the internet. The appeals process has had the potential to be time-consuming in the past, but people fighting their tickets no longer have to come into the city clerk’s office. The process of challenging the ticket is expected to move much faster. People can add attachments and the online filing system gets the information in front of the appeals committee, so it can make a quicker decision.

(Madison, WI) — An elderly Madison resident has been victimized by fake city employees. The woman says a man came to her door saying there was a problem with water contamination in her neighborhood and he needed to make a check inside her house. While he took her to the basement to check the water faucets, an accomplice stole jewelry from the victim’s bedroom. She says he yelled down the stairs that her water was fine and the two drove off in an S-U-V. Police have a good description and are looking for the two suspects. They say you should always ask for a photo I-D before letting a stranger enter your home.
