This is an example of a good citizen. The world would be a great place if everyone is as hones as this woman... The note read: "I always had good intentions of paying it. I put it aside and every once in a while I would come across it and said `someday I'm going to pay it.' Now I think it's time." The fine for an unpaid meter violation increased to $5 after 72 hours, said Police Chief David Outinen, but it hadn't increased beyond that. He told The Daily Mining Gazette of Houghton that he couldn't remember someone making good on an unpaid ticket after so much time. What do you think of that?

The link does not work anymore. Why did she not pay it sooner? I find it hard to believe she did no have money to pay in more than 30 years. Hopefully most people do not take that long to pay their debts.

Well, I am wondering why she even botherd to pay this parking ticket after all these years. Golley it has been over 32 years since this woman got this ticket.It never has affected her so far, they probally do not even have a record of this any longer.Oh well I guess it finally just registered on her conscience or something.
