Adams Parking Ticket Appeal Denied

Update: Huckleberries has learned that the Parking Commission has denied Councilman Steve Adams' appeal of a parking ticket at the Coeur d'Alene Library. Here is the reply from the Parking Commission: "His notice with denial was mailed out on the 2nd of April so as far as we are concerned the matter is closed.  He was given until April 15 to pay.  If he doesn't, it will go to collections just like any other citizen."

Constitutionalist Councilman Steve Adams has seen the light re: his threatened appeal of judicial confirmation of the "ordinary and necessary" sewer plant expansion. So Huckleberries wonders if he has also gained clarity re: some sort of divine right of local elected officials not to pay parking tickets. Huckleberries has submitted a request to City Hall, asking if Adams has also dropped his appeal of the $15 parking ticket he got for staying over-long in a Coeur d'Alene Library space during a joint meeting between the City Council and Lake City Development Corp. I'll let you know the answer when I get it. Meanwhile, you can amuse yourself by re-reading this episode of the Trials & Tribulations of Councilman Adams here.

Question: Should we talk up a collection to pay Adams' ticket in appreciation for all the blog fodder he has provided over the last 7 to 10 days?
