DC DMV has previously told us: “a low tag, [is] assigned by the Mayor or the Council.”

Thanks to Karen for sending from H Street, NE.
“Dear PoPville,
Genuinely curious about people’s thoughts on standing in a street parking space to save it. This has been happening to me more and more recently in Mount Pleasant where I live and I honestly think it is one of the most rude and selfish behaviors. (more…)
