Another regressive tax!
Lockheed Martin get...Yay! Another regressive tax!<br /><br />Lockheed Martin gets the CIty to send tickets to people to pay $200 tickets. Then, Lockheed gets half! It gets better, when you get a ticket, it's from the Police, and when you don't pay when they want you to pay, you pay double or the Police will put you in jail for driving a vehicle with a suspended license.<br /><br />Most municipalities understand the unfairness, rigidity and twisted incentives that come with allowing a major defense contractor to profit from the 25mph limit on four lane Michigan Ave, or the 12 second green light southbound crossing NY Ave going into the 3rd Street tunnel. But, not the corrupt politicians in WDC. <br /><br />In this City, money talks and that is why the principals of EYA received 25 acres of publicly-owned land with no RFP process, while the guy who put tens of thousands of their money in his pocket is in jail. If the City threw a flag on this transaction, it would have to throw flags all over the place.<br /><br />“Corruption is theft from the poor"<br />Bishops of the South African Catholic Bishops' Conference.<br /><br />Paul Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14790656289215347360noreply@blogger.com
