There currently is none above Bluff Road. Most employers as big as SIUE that have space available provide parking for employees. Yes, I understand that someone has to pay for parking, but usually it is factored into the cost of the product or services supplied to the consumer. One might think it would be fair to have this basic cost added in as a tuition fee, then all students would be sharing the cost of the campus. Those who want to park close would pay the premium sticker cost.
Employees pay taxes on gross wages.
Parking stickers are paid out of the employee's take-home pay. It sounds like double taxation. You would think that stickers would at least be tax exempt. Maybe I should go to the fitness center to work off some of this parking stress, but I feel too taxed right at the moment.
