NC Congressman Too Rushed To Find Airport Parking
Published: November 4, 2009
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina congressman dashing to catch a plane dumped his SUV at the end of a row of properly parked cars at Charlotte’s airport.
The Gaston Gazette reports Wednesday that Republican Rep. Patrick McHenry parked his Ford Explorer straddling a curb in a parking lot at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport on Sunday.
The front tires were on the curb. The back tires were in the driving area of the parking lot, one resting atop a yellow speed bump.
McHenry spokesman Brock McCleary said the congressman was running late and couldn’t find a parking spot. He says McHenry made a mistake by not parking properly, and the car has been moved.
McHenry is serving his third term in the U.S. House.

He should have started out earliler and then he would not have been running late. He should be treated just like any other citizen who illegally parks.
