When Jacqueline DenDekker got a summons for a $55 parking ticket, she called her son.
Her son, Assemblymember Michael DenDekker, called a news conference.
“We are just citizens fighting a parking ticket,” Jacqueline, 74, said in front of the Jackson Heights spot where her tan 2008 Toyota was ticketed. “But everyone else doesn’t have a son in politics. It’s really a shame.”
