Kyler Sweeley Got a Parking Ticket. Then He Voted to Make IT Go Away.
Sometime before April 10, Kyler Sweeley got a parking ticket in Topeka.
Then he did something about it.
On April 10, Sweeley voted to override Governor Kelly's veto of a provision in HB2513 that granted all 165 members of the Kansas Legislature free access to state-operated parking lots and garages. The governor had vetoed it. Sweeley and his colleagues voted to put it back in.
A legislator with a parking ticket voted to exempt legislators from parking tickets. Not once, but twice. Even after it was brought to light
On May 4, a Limited Motion to collect a debt was activated in Shawnee County Court. The amount: $54.
He never showed up to court.
That's what this was about. Fifty-four dollars. An inconvenience most people just pay. Kyler Sweeley had a different option available to him, and he used it.
Kyler Sweely is fighting to make government work - for him.
The receipts are public record.
