Due Process question...
So I have a parking sticker for my uni from last year that says n large letters on it "09/10" without really paying attention I assumed I had to go get a new sticker before the end of September. Turns out it said "expires July 30, 2010" in ultra small print on the corner...
Anyway when I went to contest the ticket I was told I could not do so, until after I paid it. Isn't this a violation of due process? Shouldn't I be able to contest my fine before I pay it?
How can I fight this, my Dad suggested suing the uni's president in small claims court, but idk if that has any actual chance of working. What other options do I have? (Aside from paying in unwrapped pennies of course)
Any armchair lawyers out there?
My university does have an appeals process and they have a typical setup with local police/parking officers that gives them authority to issue tickets though. Every year they give out a slew of tickets at the start and often redesignate parking lots anyway, just how it goes.
Now, it's true you might be able to argue about contesting the ticket before you pay it, that sounds odd. But, you should also know there's really no possible way you should expect to successfully contest this one if they really want people to pay the tickets and have the authority to do so (ie. not just warnings like some institutions may have). It should be common knowledge or basically your own responsibility you didn't realize you needed a new parking pass for a new school year.

People, especially poor people, get more significant raises during Democratic administrations.

Under Republican presidents, the incomes of the poor grow very substantially less (proportional to their incomes at the beginning of the presidency) than the incomes of the rich, whereas under Democrat presidents, the incomes of the poor grow slightly more than the incomes of the rich.

Oh. I thought it was the income growth rate of the president. Misunderstood the graph.
I stumbled upon the photo alone. From the image location, Slate magazine.
Depends who you ask, but I would say "not very good".

Democratic policies are better for literally everyone than Republican policies.

What would be interesting to see how it is when their is a Democratic President, congress and senate, a Democratic Pres, a Republican congress and senate, A Democratic Pres and Congress, Republican senate, A Democratic Pres and senate and a Republican Senate and then the similar options with a Republican president. That way we can get an accurate picture, since the President is not the only one in charge.
While that's true, the president has an awful lot of influence on things. And few presidents in recent decades have been at the mercy of Congress for even minor changes in policy, much less had Congress control policy as a whole. Presidents don't get everything they want, but they get a pretty good chunk of it most of the time.
