| Quote (Carrera Elite @ June 16 2009,3:30 pm) | Toledo, OH -- Residents in Toledo are wondering why they are getting tickets for illegal parking...in their own driveways.
The tickets are for technically breaking the law that states no one may park on unpaved ground. But suddenly, that seems to apply for their own driveways.
"I just can't reach into my magic box of tricks and get 5-6 grand to pave my driveway," said Charles Robertson, who received a $25 ticket.
When asked about the issue, Mayor Carty Finkbeiner initially defended Sue Frederick, the mayor's Streets, Bridges, and Harbor Commissioner.
"She wouldn't have written the ticket if she didn't think she would be vindicated," said the mayor. "If they broke the law, you write a ticket."
Residents all along Holland Sylvania found their cars ticketed in their own yards.
Not everyone agrees in defending the tickets, however. City Councilman D. Michael Collins collected tickets to attempt to get them rescinded.
"I want this irresponsible activity by city employees going into neighborhoods and just doing something by fiat -- it has to stop," said Collins.
Residents question the motive behind the tickets. Many suspect it's just another way to squeeze out some extra money.
When this theory was presented to the Mayor, he ignored it, asking, "Could I have another question?"
"When the mayor has the audacity to tell me I'm wrong and everyone on this street is wrong, I think the mayor is wrong," said Robertson. |
I heard about this on the news the other day, what a bunch of crap, How low can you go to do this to your people and then they wonder why everybody is moving out of there city, toledo is a gost town anymore, this was a law put in order way back when the car was first brought out I think.
