BAR HARBOR—A duo of informational meetings in Bar Harbor last week had both the Bar Harbor Town Council and Charles Sidman explaining their rationale for support for and against a ballot question about cruise ship disembarkations that will face Bar Harbor voters this November 5.
Following the totally absurd example of Ocean Properties recent "Grandfathered Access" lawsuit I have decided to file a lawsuit of my own against the town of Bar Harbor. My lawsuit concerns the installation of parking meters and subsequent introduction of parking fees. For many decades I was able to park my cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and horse drawn carriages anywhere I wanted to (except in front of fire hydrants) without incurring a charge! I therefore maintain that my fee free parking options in Bar Harbor are "grandfathered." My attorney has advised me to "stonewall" any and all rules and regulations pertaining to in town parking fees! I have no intention of paying any parking fees. When, not if, I lose in court I am just going to keep filing appeals until the town goes bankrupt! The international FPFA organization (Free Parking For All) has graciously offered to pay all court costs.
