Sorry, but you had better think twice about filing those slips of paper in your glove compartment. Because new legislation means that either you pay the fine, request a trial if you wish to dispute the , alleged infraction or your vehicle permit and license sticker will not be renewed. You decide which option. It's that simple. Should you receive a parking ticket, the ticket itself will tell you if the munici- pality issuing the ticket is using the new legislation and what your options are. All muni- cipalities will be using the new legislation by 1989. At the 4-11 meeting on August 18, Richard Hamilton visited our meeting and led Its in the 4-11 pledge.
