TOLEDO, Ohio – Residents of Toledo, Ohio, are complaining that they received $25 tickets for parking their vehicles in their own driveways.
Mayor Carty Finkbeiner (FINK'-by-ner) says he stands by the citations handed out last week by the Division of Streets, Bridges and Harbor. He says the tickets were issued under a city law against parking on unpaved surfaces, including gravel driveways.

Well, I’m sure these folks are at fault somehow, and deserve the tickets.

LOL...and use free range chicken feathers only!
LOL I really am starting to hate this world.
I have a 2-car-wide gravel driveway.
My landlord put in it so we could park off the street after the CD player got stolen out of the truck we used to have.
If someone ticketed me for parking there, they would end up with some serious regrets.
Police union president may go to court to halt writing of tickets by other city employees
“hopefully a judge will throw this out”... Spoken like somebody who accepts the power the government exercises over day to day behavior. I am now a conservative nihilist. Burn it down and start over.
Ohioans proved that they have no respect for private property rights when they voted to outlaw tobacco use in privately owned bars and restaurants. They can’t complain now.
The rocks have a way of getting in the yard, I'm sure my grand children contribute to that too. Mine's double wide, I've thought about paving it but it costs a fortune, so gravel it stays.
People have gone POSTAL for a lot less than this.
Ain’t it sweet?
I’m just loving the howls of outrage, and from what I can tell, statezillas are just beginning to deploy their array of phased revenue enhancers.
We’ve forgotten Benjamin Franklin’s dictum, and consequently, we are going to all hang seperately.
Google search tells me he’s a democrap.... Yep, those libs always looking out for the little guy!
Fined for parking on your driveway? I guess George Harrison’s lyrics in “Taxman” about being fined/taxed for breathing will eventually come true.

If I lived there, I would pave four 6” x 6” squres in my gravel driveway measured out to fit exactly under my tires.
Well yes, but that was just aimed at smokers, who have been scientifically proven not to be actual human beings so it’s all good in that case.
“Ain’t it sweet?”
Not really, but schaudenfreud (sp?) is all I have left....
Good one!
even a grass driveway works for me, not everyone can afford gravel, concrete or blacktop driveways.....just not all over the front lawn though.
Just another way liberals have found to destroy the notion of private property. When they control all uses of private property and tax it to hell, there will be no more private property.
Then, the marxists will be happy.
