Letter: Flawed rule

To the editor:

I’m writing to ask when is there going to be an option for downtown employees to obtain a general parking pass?

Today my wife was issued a “repeat offender” parking ticket for the price of $50. This is going too far, in my opinion. We get tickets like everyone else, and we pay them. Fine. But really? Where is the line drawn for this and why won’t anyone step up to change this flaw in our city? My wife is pregnant and has to carry heavy loads to her office downtown. She has no other options for parking. It’s pathetic for our city to prey on such citizens.
