Did I read correctly that a local business owner was fined for parking her car while working [“Business Owner Racks Up Nearly $40,000 in Sag Harbor Parking Fines,” 27east.com, April 4]? Please tell me that a mistake was made. In what universe would that make sense?

And congratulations to you all for the well-deserved awards for this great newspaper [“The Express News Group Wins Numerous Honors in State Newspaper Contest,” 27east.com, April 30]. Thank you.
