Recently, there was a controversy about Philadelphia Parking Authority Interim Chief Clarena Tolson hiring her daughter’s roommate, Talasia Garner as one of the new employees. According to Halbherr, he describes Tolson’s unethical behavior as “a slap in the face” because Garner receives a $48,578 yearly job with no efforts.
