Fines and tickets are one-time fees based directly on the violation.
Charging someone a monthly "monitoring fee" in a system where people convicted of a crime can only get the lowest-paying jobs is completely immoral.
Charging them with further crimes for their inability to pay those monitoring fees is disgusting.

Home owners don’t deserve the tax rate for quality of schools they receive. New building don’t educate better. 10% of the Money could have been spent on early education and that would have lead to a 1000x better school district in 10 years

I feel like home prices would go up exponentially with the change

We just hosted a ton of 49ers in Philadelphia. They spent the week here “trolling” us. I’m sorry you feel like you can’t come to Philadelphia to watch the Steelers once every four years.

I like Redbeard's on Sixth, its a sports bar type atmosphere. I was also going to say Ten Penny on Penn Ave but it would appear that has been changed to Carpino now. It has been 2 years since I have been downtown but I will be there for a week in April which I am looking forward to.

I’m not disputing that and you are trying to straw man my point. I’m disputing your exaggerated numbers and oversimplification in your original comment that might perpetuate a false narrative that the students didn’t deserve a new school

None of those are criminalizing being broke as they are all only applicable to people duly convicted by their peers. Criminalizing being broke would be like charging money for a public defender (but they are free). They owe a debt to society in a similar way that someone who parks in a fire line and gets ticketed does.

I hate it when my school board steels money.

I get it. You don’t like Philadelphia sports fans.
AT A PLAYOFF GAME FOR THE SUPER BOWL?!? You’re going to just hang out with your rival team fans?

It’s almost like the did have a budget but realized they could grift and steal money in the process and no one would do anything, so they did

You can hire a lawyer if you want. It costs something like $900 in the end (I think the initial fee was $750 and then to appeal the decision was another $150). My lawyer is saying he’s getting my assessed value down a good bit, though I’m not 100% sure what would have happened if we would have just done nothing. It’s likely though if you own the house for 5+ years that appealing with a lawyer will work out financially for you.
Our process started around January 2021 and just now we have our final hearing in February 2023 so it takes a long time for the process to play out.

Yes. We would give you an Iron City beer and then probably stand around awkwardly. Seriously, find any proof of anything otherwise. You’re defending your fellow fans by making assumptions. Sorry some people told you they don’t like Philadelphia. Doesn’t compare at all to throwing beer cans

Don’t put words in my mouth. I said the new schools were a symptom not the cause itself. They were part of a larger problem of poor budgeting. My point is other districts built new schools but properly budgeted for it and had the luxury of larger tax base.

As a child of eleven at the time, I recall that this was a snow day in much of Western Pennsylvania. I was out playing in the snow that morning, when my neighbor, also eleven, came out and told me about the accident.

Oh so you think the school was money well spent and not a cash grab by board members and contractors?
