It seems that all the serious crimes in Sheboygan have been solved or prevented. How else can we explain the apparent lack of anything for the police to do but write parking tickets?
Sheboygan's winter parking rules are unnecessarily awkward, especially for visitors. Alternating sides according to the even/odd date is goofy enough, yet when the end of the month falls on the 31st, it causes two odd numbered days in a row. Citizens with more important things on their minds can understandably err by switching when they should stay parking on the same side.
A little humanity on the part of our robo-cops might allow them the decency of issuing a warning instead of a ticket under these unique circumstances, especially when the weather is clear and snow removal is not an issue. Yet, in a recent incident, an officer with an over zealous attitude felt the need to issue a ticket to an unfortunate citizen who made an honest mistake.
Let a citizen off for a parking error today and they might be robbing banks tomorrow! I guess one of our local Barney Fifes has an overinflated view of his importance. Or our city government just needs more funds.

Nice to see another Sheboygan Blog!
Well hell, they arrested that 12 year old drug dealer ... that has to be the extent of crime in our quaint city.
welcome .....
Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
You truly have no clue! If people can't inform their quests to the rules, just as my grandparents remind me when I visit them, then those getting tickets should only blame themselves, but then again who is dumb enough to blame themselves. Remember the cops only enforce what the city leaders have created in the city codes.
No clue? I'm not the one assuming that every visitor to Sheboygan is someones guest. You think people only come here to visit relatives? I agree that the officers are only doing their jobs, but a lot is left to an officers discretion. Our city government is so anal retentive that they should be on a forced diet of prunes and laxative.
