If you read the article I posted above, you will find an explanation of what
they are doing in Illinois and why.

"A state law taking effect Jan. 1 says only motorists whose impairments prevent
them from being able to pay a meter can park for free in those spots. Before,
anyone with a disability parking placard could do so."

OK by me too. Having a physical disability does not make you too poor
to pay for parking.



Putting stricter controls in place for all such government privileges and
entitlements would be a positive step, IMHO.


Here in CT a doctor has to sign off on it.

I think that is the case in most, if not all states. However, I have known
quite a few less than honest and ethical doctors.
