Food for Fines

In an amazing stroke, that shocks me, our local city council came up with a good idea!

The idea is that in place of parking fines, during a two week period at the end of November, they will take food donations of equal or greater value. These in turn would be placed with a local food bank. However, it instantly became contentious when one of the councilors pointed out that is was a logistical nightmare.

This is a rare case where I agree with this councilor. Which is surprising since I really feel that there is quite a need for this in our community.

I think quite simply that the City should take cash donations, and then send the lump sum to the food banks.

It'll never work though.

Too Simple.
