Students are constantly complaining that parking fines are too high, but students should not have to be paying parking fines. If students, and faculty and staff for that matter, only parked where their stickers said they should park, they would not have to pay any fines because they wouldn't receive any tickets. If the dramatic increase worked, then there is no reason to lower the fines. Bob Chambers said that the number of tickets went down 10,000 tickets per year. That means the increase worked. Although it is nice of SGA to be trying to make life a little cheaper for GSU students, there is no need for it. SGA does not need to be trying to decrease the fines but instead they should be trying to get students to pay the " fines they have and to park in the proper places. We do agree though that an additional fine should be imposed if students don't pay their fines in a timely . manner. Adding $5 to the fine after a certain amount of time would probably encourage people to pay the tickets as soon as possible. It might also further discourage people "It's easier than trying to find a parking place." With apologies to O'Connor from parking illegally.
