Is it Time for Council Members to Park Legally Like Everyone Else?

A reader sends in the photos from Sunday afternoon:

“I thought this was kinda interesting – DC councilwoman Yvette Alexander parked illegally in front of Eatonville at 14th and V Sts.”

Readers often send in photos of Council Members parking in non legal spaces. At the moment – Council Members are not obligated to following parking regulations. I’m thinking this is a ridiculous entitlement. It’s not like they aren’t compensated in other ways – 6 figure salaries. Or do you think it’s still a useful entitlement as they have to attend multiple meetings all over town? Def. makes driving to brunch easier…
