#3 "I am introducing legislation on income-adjusting parking tickets so low-income families don’t have to decide between paying a parking ticket or putting food on their table," she wrote.

In Boston, the fine for an expired meter is $40. I got a parking ticket in town awhile back. It was $5.

Permit me to suggest the City of Boston has decided to use the lax habits of its citizenry as a money machine. Now it finds itself painted into a corner of its own making. The solution, as always, is an ever-more complicated rule set.
