"[Salt Lake City] Mayor Rocky Anderson is pushing an ordinance to allow drivers of alternative-fuel, fuel-efficient and low-polluting vehicles to park free at all city metered parking."
This is insane. Here we go again trying to use the government to legislate morality. Hmmmm... I think pollution is bad and so I think I am going to try to force people to pollute less by making them pay more for parking if they don't. Never mind that the next guy has to pay for that spot and he pays just the same in taxes every year as the guy who runs that hybrid.
This is essentially a fine for people who don't buy a certain type of legal vehicle. This is also another scoot closer to socialism. The goverment needs to control less, not more. Let the people keep their freedoms, don't take them away under the banner of "saving the world" from itself.
