[bscb-l] sidewalk snow-removal resolution

Yes, but if the fines were much, much higher, then people would be more 
likely to shovel to avoid the fine. Even though people are losing their jobs 
and their homes, many of them do not know how to be poor people, and they'll 
thumb their noses at that $25 fine. They're being foreclosed on, but they 
still have their jazzy cable TV package, their fancy cell phone package with 
three zillion text messages, their SUV, and their super-duper high speed 
internet service, and so on. Sometimes when I read these supposedly highly 
innovative ways to save money, I think, what's so revolutionary about that? 
I've been doing that forever.
    So make those fines really hurt, particularly the repeat offenders.
