futility

enclosed with my payment:

To whom it may concern:

How can you issue a parking citation for street cleaning, when there was no street cleaning done !?

My motorcycle can not block a street cleaner that is not present.

Forty seven dollars is an outrageous ticket for this offense. Do you really think working class people can afford a $47 hit, when they are having trouble making ends meet? It would take someone making the federal minimum wage over 9 hrs to pay this citation. That is outrageous and the city of Santa Monica should be ashamed !

These tickets are not in an effort to insure the streets can be cleaned. They are a source of revenue for the city. How much money does Santa Monica collect annually in parking tickets? How many tickets did it take to pay for your $54 million dollar library?

Please foward my complaint to the appropriate party. I look foward to your response.
