JUNCTION CITY, Kan. (AP) A Junction City woman has taken a $55
parking ticket all the way to the Kansas Court of Appeals and
won.
Mary Somrak got the ticket for parking over the line in her
parking space at a townhome complex. Somrak said she fought the
ticket through three courts and almost two years because she didn't
think it was right for the city to write tickets in a private
parking lot at 2 a.m. _ especially when the car she parked too
close to was her own second car.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/wTEJno ) Somrak also
fought the ticket because her neighbors got similar tickets and
many of them are military dependents.
Local courts said she didn't file her appeal notice in time, but
the appeals court ruled she did.
