Parking tickets

These parking tickets that they’ve been ordered a handout carte blanche, is this the way we get repaid for trying to keep our city clean? And if this is what the city wants to expend their energy on considering the crime rate is place that it is. I feel sorry for the people who live here. It’ll never change. Thanks again, Reed. — A reader

It sucks that people got so used to lax enforcement, so a grace period would be nice, but if you park illegally, then you’re probably gonna get a ticket. You can’t get mad at the mayor for tasking his departments to do the jobs that they are paid for.
