a place for a point system

     Pennsylvania once had a "point system" for driver's licenses. Moving violations meant "points'--a bad thing. Drivers got one point for a very minor infraction, more for a serious one. If the driver accumulated ten points his or her license was suspended.
    We could use  a new point system for other minor infractions, such as failing to clear the walk or put the trash out properly. Instead of getting a citation or not getting a citation, properties could be given points for violations. A property owner could be cited if enough points accumulated, without any recourse to luck or drama.
