Of course not. I just got a ticket in Minneapolis tonight for not having a front license plate on a car that doesn't have a front license plate holder.
I long ago happily moved away from Minneapolis, first to years of overseas employment, then to a state without income tax, so I hold no brief (as they used to say) for Moscow on the Mississippi.
But, seriously, Minnesota law requires you to have a front and a back license plate and doesn't contain exemptions for those who can't figure out how to mount one on the front of the car.
It's not an issue of being able to figure it out. It's an issue of pretty much every car in Minnesota that is designed without one (front license plate holder) doesn't have one mounted in the front. Ergo an unspoken agreement between the cops and the owners of such cars.
That is of course unless you run into Minneapolis where the metermaids/cops are pricks enough to violate this unspoken accord.
Now, along the same lines of capital flight, let's think about this.
The Captain hosts field trips where he gets his students to come to certain venues to practice their ballroom dancing. Sometimes this can be 30 students and he hosts about 5 field trips a year in Minnepaolis. 150 people, brought into the city's economy, spending around $10 each on covers and booze. $1,500 per year, over a decade has been $15,000 in gross municipal product.
Oh, but wait! Not any more!
Looks like the evil Republican suburbs are getting that money now.
I don't know why any of them just won't move to Texas?
I just don't know why these Financial Industries have such a fetish for the North and Mid-Atlantic states. Maybe they're hoping Zoo York City will somehow wake up to the fact that there is a massive exodus of jobs and young workers because no one wants to live in a Communist city that's more Communist than Moscow was in the 1970s...I mean banning smoking in parks with all the smoke belching out of the NYC cabbies?? CMON!!!!
Word has it Anthony Weiner still is serious about running for Mayor of NYC...I think the CME and JP Morgan Chase better forget NYC for good and instead of moving to Jersey City in hopes of returning to NYC someday...just forget it and move to Texas or New Hampshire.
One should be wary of those unspoken agreements with governments. They seem to break the even spoken ones with appalling regularity.
Your dance class field trips sound like fun, but it would take more than $10 worth of booze for me to make a spectacle of my aging self on a dance floor.

Well, you can sure as heck predict they aren't moving to Minneapolis!

Never, EVER move or invest in Minneapolis.

Come to Detroit. We have the best city council money can buy.

Enjoy the decline, Minneapolis!

"One should be wary of those unspoken agreements with governments"
"I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further..."
