[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you understand what "decriminalization" means? It's still an offense, it's just not a criminal offense. You have to pay a fine, you can't be arrested or sent to jail for it. Why should not paying a Metro fare be treated any more harshly than failing to pay a parking meter?[/quote] +1 HHS Secretary Tom Price cost tax payers nearly 1mn$ with his elective private jet trips and all that happened was that he got fired. Why criminalize behavior that costs tax payers just 4$?[/quote] Absolutely. Metro is outrageously expensive, especially for kids and young adults. If it were possible fiscally, I'd want Metro to be free for everyone. If I don't pay the $4 toll on the Delaware Memorial Bridge, the fine is $25. Why should the penalties for not paying the Metro fare be any more severe?[/quote]
