Paying parking fines is, as Leona Helmsley might've said, for the little people.
D.C. Council members have long distributed to family and friends special license plates that have accrued more than $20,000 in city parking fines, which the plate owners likely will not have to pay. Since the early 1970s, council members and the mayor have bestowed the license plates — which feature low numbers — as political prizes. The 13 council members have exempted themselves from parking restrictions and fines since 2001.
