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.

During a news conference Monday, Finkbeiner ignored a reporter's question of whether the crackdown and fines were related to the city's budget crisis.

The three-term mayor faces a recall vote in November. Critics have claimed he's wasted city money.

City Councilman D. Michael Collins calls the ticketing "Mickey Mouse nonsense." He has told residents he'll try to have the citations rescinded
 
Toledo really isnt considered part of OH, we only let them claim that they are becase they have a Bass Pro Shop.
 
Are we back in the running??????

Michigan Dumb Laws

A woman isn't allowed to cut her own hair without her husband's permission.

It is legal for a robber to file a law suit, if he or she got hurt in your house.

You may not swear in front of women and children in the state of Michigan.
Any person over the age of 12 may have a license for a handgun as long as he/she has not been convicted of a felony.

Smoking while in bed is illegal.

A Michigan law states that a wife's hair legally belongs to her husband.
 
Same mayor that years ago, when people where complaining about noise at the airport, he made the suggestion to move the deaf people out near the airport.
He wasn't kidding.
 
Same mayor that kicked the Marines out of the city when they had pre-approval to come train.

Same mayor who has assaulted people, and challenged others to a fight.

Same mayor who is being sued by his neighbors because he tied up the money to pave their street.

Same mayor who will be up for a recall vote in November. The petitions were approved.

My boat is sitting on my grass... so I went out there and put the new Ohio plates on the trailer yesterday and went and got my Ohio registration so that it was legal.

How many times has he been re-elected???? That can't all be one term....
 
You did. We heard that it was smaller. Besides, there was no bridge then.
:(

You also got a tiny sliver of land called the Lost Penninsula that can only be accessed through Toledo. :)

Beginning in 1835, both sides passed legislation meant to force the other side's capitulation. Ohio's governor Robert Lucas and Michigan's then 24-year-old "boy governor" Stevens T. Mason were both unwilling to cede jurisdiction of the Strip, so they raised militias and helped institute criminal penalties for citizens submitting to the other state's authority. Both militias were mobilized and sent to positions on opposite sides of the Maumee River near Toledo, but there was little interaction between the two sides besides mutual taunting. The single military confrontation of the "war" ended with a report of shots being fired into the air, incurring no casualties. There was only one serious injury in the entire conflict: the stabbing of a Michigan deputy sheriff involved in the arrest of a partisan Ohio family.


Some things never change:sifone:

Sounds pretty much like an OSU v. Mich game party to me.
