Costly vote

Share

Casting my vote Tuesday cost me $45. After parking in front of my polling place adjacent to several other cars, I returned after voting to find a street-cleaning parking ticket on my windshield. The other cars parked there were ticketed as well. Maybe I should have checked the street signs before I parked, but if West Hollywood can suspend parking restrictions on Halloween night, can’t Los Angeles do the same on election day?

Turned out to be an expensive exercise of my constitutional right.
