if they have a parking place some where else that Doest belong to but the Fri says they have no mandate to track Down stolen parking there is nothing stamped on a parking place to Indi Cate it is government maybe the Carter appointees Are still using their parking places in government buildings while there Job i Sug we thought of that but unless the car has a Georgia License we cant be sure if the vehicle belongs to one of us or one of i tried to think of some other i dont know if this could be the but republicans Are More affluent than and its possible they Arent car pooling like the democrats if every Republican drives to work then you might be filling up three spaces for every one the democrats this got him very you would like to think because it fits your image of but i know Many republicans who Are willing to car the Only prob Lem is they live in areas where its very hard to find their own kind to Pool Why Doest president Reagan freeze everyone parking i that no one
