Your REAL EYE on Medford tm
IF YOU DON'T INTEND TO KEEP THEM ...
THE DEFINITION OF FREE ... as written in the American Heritage Dictionary,
FREE means costing nothing, gratuitous.
During August of 2015 while campaigning for Mayor, Stephanie Muccini Burke announced that seniors should be exempt from paying at parking kiosks/meters. She made the same declaration at one of the Mayoral debates. Now, on April 12, 2016 she requested the Traffic Commission (2016-23) to implement a senior citizen parking permit for seniors 65 or older with a fee of $25.00 to be charged to get a pass to park for specified time periods. The Traffic Commission approved (5-0) the Mayor's request.
FACT : Social Security recognizes a senior starting at age 62. Apparently, by choosing age 65, this has now turned into another city, disguised, revenue enhancer at the expense of our senior citizens.
It is a shame that this type of political posturing took place during this past mayoral campaign for it is now proving to be quite obvious that seniors will not get free parking as promised. $25.00 to pay to park does not equate to free parking...
FREE MEANS FREE!
