Parking Space a Pawn in Political Debate

The city of Berkeley is using a parking space to voice their political opinions. An article by Judith Scherr in the Berkeley Daily Planet reports on the descision by the Berkeley City Councl to grant free use of a parking space for four hours a week to protesters of the Berkeley office of the U.S. Marine recruiting center. Councilmember Gordon Wozniak was a voice of opposition to this use of the parking space saying that it “is showing favoritism to one side of the argument.”
