Kudos to Catherine Lord

But you've gotta ask:  is she the only Vernon Councillor who thought the 35-page draft parking enforcement policy was ludicrous?

Yup...35 pages.
 On parking enforcement policy at Vernon City Hall.

Thirty-five pages!

Today's Morning Star newspaper reported:  City staff say the goal of the policy is to educate the public on issues related to parking and meters.

"It's absolutely ridiculous."

Catherine Lord, City of Vernon councillor

"We're trying to put everything out there in a plain and transparent manner," said Amanda Watson, a transportation technician.

"A lot of it is common sense, and we've done away with that."

But Lord counters that the magnitude of the document means most residents will never turn a page, reports the story.  "None of my neighbours will read the policy on how to avoid getting a parking ticket," said the councillor.

Educating the public...on how to not get a parking ticket.

The bureaucrats must've missed the letter to the editor a few weeks ago where a woman--obviously of slight stature--complained that the new parking meters were too high for her to see the screen and whether her coin actually gave her parking minutes!

So much bureaucratic crap... 

"What is a transportation technician anyway?" enquires Kia.

Ask only Catherine Lord that question.
