On Saturday night I was downtown Delray.

We were walking back to our car and stopped to look at the parking garage in Pineapple Grove. It's huge so it's not like you can miss it.

We could not help but notice a very expensive looking plaque, black marble I think - similar to something you'd see in cemetery.

On the plaque were names of the mayor, city counsel members and county commissioners.

We couldn't help but notice they had forgotten a name...the taxpayers.

I've never seen anyone dedicate a parking garage to themselves before. Most people don't like them. They're expensive and notoriously unsafe.

The mayor says she wants suggestions on how to save money. My suggestion is don't build any more parking garages. Most of us prefer to park at meters or in parking lots.

And just think of all the money the City could save on plaques.
