[quote=Anonymous]DC just lost my business. In September, I drove into DC for 2 business lunches. Over the weekend, I received 2 speeding tickets, one for $125, one for $150. One of them was for North Capital Street, and the other was in a downtown tunnel. In both cases, I fit a business lunch into a tight schedule, so public transporation is not an option. Yes, I was speeding, but one road's speed limit seems low and, regardless, these fines are incredibly excessive. Today, I scheduled business lunches with 2 DC based people, and neither will take place in DC. Since I expect to pay at least $200 for these 2 lunches, DC has lost at the minimum $20 already (10% restaurant tax), not including lost income to the restaurant itself, restaurant employees, and either parking lot income or street parking income. Next week, I have another 2 other lunches with DC types. Those will not take place in DC either. I will continue this until DC has lost the equivalent sales tax revenues. In fact, I expect it will take not very long.[/quote]
