Fighting the City Government

John Mares says the city didn’t know with whom it was dealing. When he hit a pothole on Aviation Boulevard, he thought the city should pay for the damage to his car. He says it wasn’t easy, but he never gave up. Finally, after months of fighting and discussion, Mares got his check from the city. The check was for $401.67, but for Mares, the feeling of vindication was priceless. Here is one man’s fight with City Hall.
