[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of you are crazy! Did you read the article? It's a 120 day pilot--a study: "...But it’s also not an open-ended offer. Drivers can only apply for the discount once, and it only counts for tickets that have fines of $100 or less associated with them: speeding 11-15 mph over the limit, turning right on a red light where it’s forbidden, rolling through a stop sign, parking in a bus zone, and driving in a bus-only lane. The city plans to run the test for 120 days or until they get 3,000 takers, after which the results will be studied — looking specifically at ticket payment rates and the number of re-offenders — and future options assessed..." Go have a good weekend and stop going back-and-forth about a bid nothing burger![/quote] Government programs, including pilot studies, never seem to end. They just grow and grow and grow. At some point, the pilot study will suggest UBI so that the destitute can pay their fines.[/quote]
