City Fundraiser

Every since Jeff Miller started leaving comments on his blog, I’ve been an avid reader of his. This is a good example of what he finds. I can think of no other reason for ticketing someone for leaving his lights on than as an attempt to raise funds for the city.

I remember being in Springfield, IL and stopping by the Marian Center, a Catholic bookstore. I got a $25 back in 1999 for parking more than twelve inches from the curb. I wrote them a letter asking them to reconsider, and I didn’t get anywhere. I’m glad I didn’t move to Springfield.
