This is a car belonging to State Representative Al Liese. According to our sources, the car is often parked in the circle of the capitol building all day long, despite a two hour time limit. Why, you might ask, does a State Representative, who has a spot in the garage, need to park his car illegally on a daily basis? We think we may have the answer, but we need your help!
We think it is lobbyist Chris Liese, Al’s son, who is actually using the car. Supposedly, Chris can’t stand walking a few blocks to work so he uses his dad’s car (and plates) to get himself a few steps closer. We aren’t sure if this breaks any ethics laws, but it has to come very close.
Here is how you can help The Source find out for sure. We have pictures of the car parked illegally. Now we need pictures of a driver pulling up, leaving, entering or exiting the car. Here is your chance to enter the world of investigative blogging!
You may send your pictures to [email protected]. We will publish any verifiable pictures with your name and city (or anonymously if you desire). Good luck!
Plus - if you'll note - that's not even a parking space. The red jeep is in the last space before the crosswalk. Typical lobbyist. They all park illegally around the Capitol.
