Show X i The Woodchuck j Parking Problems the money back I paid for parking 25 minutes in a 20 minute zone this summer. I bet if Elroy Jones had given all those tickets that were due last Thursday no one would need worry about that tuition business and there would be a 50 percent reduction reduc-tion in the parking fees next year.
