I feel punished for living in our great town year round. We pay the taxes and vote for our local politicians that keep our lovely beaches free. Yet, here I sit with a parking ticket because I absent mindedly was 10 minutes over while watching my 2 year old at a playground. It could happen to anyone, how about a warning? Why are the meters even on before memorial day? It leeches more money from voters, not vacationers. Its time for us to demand a change against this practice.It's expensive to park here, which is why there are empty metered spots and overcrowded residential streets.
