Dear Milwaukee elected official,In 2020, I wrote a post about how Milwaukee could re-think parking tickets — read more here. Instead of my original idea, what if a parking ticket now read, “Congratulations, you just took one more pothole off the street?” If you adopt my idea you get 3 benefits right off the bat:Increase likelihood of parking tickets getting paid (we’re getting sick of the potholes); andLess potholes; and You, elected official, secure your re-election — because you got rid of the potholes.I hope this very unsolicited letter and its sweeping generalizations finds you well.David … Concerned citizen.… if only it was that easy to make change happen.
