- In this new era of skyrocketing meter rates, at least one man found a way to park his car for hours in a traffic-clogged neighborhood without having to spend a pocketful of quarters.
Should it surprise longtime observers of Chicago politics that this guy works for a City Council member?
Zodak Yonan, an aide to Ald. Thomas Tunney, infuriated neighbors in Lakeview by parking at an expired meter thanks to an "Official 44th Ward Business" placard he displayed on the dashboard. - Asked about the placard behind his car's windshield, Yonan replied that he did not think he had done anything wrong.
"Nobody gave it to me. I made it," he told the Tribune. "I've worked for the alderman's office for 25 years. We're so busy in the office, sometimes you forget to put the money in. The sign is there for the meter maids to know. There's no problem with that."
He backpedals later, but seriously, this would alleviate a lot of the parking problems at Cubs games, downtown events, and various venues on the north, south and west sides. Just make up a cool sign with a city seal - who's going to check? If you don't keep parking in the same spot like this moron did, how are the neighbors going to catch you?
We just don't know why we didn't think of it earlier like someone else did with the high quality copies of city stickers they were selling for $10 on the south and west sides a year or two back, all with the same serial number. We loved ticketing those.
