GREENWICH -- Town officials have closed a 54-year-old loophole that allowed bargain payments for parking fines.Under a 1952 ordinance, parking violators who presented themselves at the police department within 24 hours of being ticketed could pay $1 instead of the established fines, which currently range from $15 to $50.The board of selectmen this week repealed the ordinance."I feel the idea of paying a dollar to take care of a fine is crazy," Republican Selectman Peter Crumbine said.
