The election in Denver was a fiasco this month. New computer voting at centers not precincts led to EXTREMELY long lines, hot tempers and not nearly enough apologies. Worse yet the dedicated voters who toughed out the wait returned to their cars to find PARKING Tickets for their trouble.
Turn the clock back a few years. Remember John Hickenlooper before he was Mayor of Denver? Recall his charmingly different political commercials with him on a Moped. Or him putting a quarter into the parking meter?
He won the election because of the parking meters...kind of.
Well last week Mayor Hickenlooper made the National News, MSNBC, FOX News, and NPR recognized and praised Mayor Hickenlooper.
Why?
Because for all the voters who received parking tickets on election day, The Mayor is taking responsibility for the screw up and PAYING Everyones fines.
The media calls his action Mayoral Magnanimity...
I call it living up to your line.
