It may be the latest in a long line of charges and lost revenue in Mayor Richard M. Daley's parking meter and garage privatization deal.

According to theChicago Sun-Times,the city is facing over $200 million in two separate legal claims from the investors that bought the rights to the city's parking meters and downtown garages. Sun-Times reporter Dan Mihalopoulos joins us onChicago Tonight at 7:00 pm.

When the city leased its garages in 2006 for $563 million, it promised the new owners that it wouldn't allow new public parking nearby. But, according to theSun-Times, the city approved a parking garage in the Aqua skyscraper months after the deal. The investors, controlled by Morgan Stanley, filed a $200 million claim against the city, saying they would never have paid as much with the added competition.

The city is also facing a $13.5 million claim from Daley's meter deal. The meter owners are asking the city to reimburse them for free parking they've given to vehicles with disability plates and placards.

Both claims will be resolved through arbitration, as required by the lease contracts.
