New ordinance gives illegal booting the boot
Happy New Year!
Patrons and businesses in Deep Ellum are certainly looking forward to the booting ordinance that goes into effect today. They say they were fed up with parking lot operators immobilizing cars after drivers paid for parking spaces. Now, Deep Ellum parking lot companies must provide a receipt -- either from an attendant or a machine -- or risk losing their license.
The rules will spread to the rest of Dallas over the next year. More to come at 5:30 and 9 p.m. on The 33 News.

Hunt continues for doughnut shop killers
Just got back from the shopping center where 46-year-old Kee-Sun Chung was gunned down yesterday. What a sad scene.
Chung's family members said they were too overwhelmed to speak on camera today. But I spoke with the customer who found her friend mortally wounded. More from her at 9 p.m.
Anyone with information can call 214-671-3661.

Mass Swine Flu Vaccination Underway in Dallas
At long last, Dallas' first walk-in swine flu clinic opened this morning to hundreds of people -- but virtually no chaos.
Residents lined up as early as 4 a.m., but everyone we spoke with said the process of getting their vaccines went smoothly.
The clinic is intended for Dallas County residents and targeted demographics, such as pregnant women, low-income or uninsured residents and those with medical conditions such as asthma or diabetes.
County residency will be the most strictly enforced part of screening, said Zachary Thompson, Dallas County Health and Human Services director.
"We're on the honor system," Thompson said about the other qualifications.
The clinic will be open until 4 p.m. today. It will open again tomorrow and possibly Friday, depending on how fast the county burns through its 10,700 doses.

Texas-OU parking disaster ... resolved?
The city of Dallas is trying to prevent the towing nightmare that some Texas-OU fans endured last year. Dozen of visitors paid illegitimate parking attendants who had conspired with a towing company to then tow the vehicles. Talk about a double whammy! Some fans paid more than $200 between the towing and parking fees -- not to mention hours of frustration.
This year, the city has issued 250 permits for legitimate parking lot attendants. Those planning to tow violators' cars must also post towing signs. Learn more about how to avoid getting duped into a parking scheme on The 33 News tonight at 5:30 and 9 p.m.
