I was looking for information on parking tickets and found that you can pay your city of tulsa fines online.  I just found this insanely funny, though I'm not sure exactly why.

I think it's a good thing.  Much easier than running down to NCH to do it.

I don't get many fines but the last parking ticket made me go out of my way.  I'm for it and all hail our ant overlords.

I just wish the CoT would get with the times and offer:

1) Electronic Bill Pay (via your banks..currently you can 'sorta' do this with some banks, but the bank cuts a check and mails it to the recepient)
2) E-bills (many municipalities offer this, including OKC)

I realize I could just do it the old way and write out checks, but that's what technology is for.  The E Bills are the sole reason I returned to BofA earlier this year.  I didn't want to switch from BOk, but their CS department essentially told me they wouldn't offer EBill handling anytime soon.

I'm still not sure why I found it so funny.  Maybe I was just overly tired.  But I can see why they would do this.  I'm sure more people would pay their tickets because they can't use the excuse they couldn't get downtown, or whatever.  Only thing is, you would think they would get the word out more on this.

Got to looking, and you can make your payments online

Yes.

For a fee.
Ah, didn't see that.  Could be worse, the only way I can pay my phone bill without a fee is online.  Never knew of a place that would charge you to pay with cash in person.

NP cust.

My point is that E-bills deliver the statement to your bank which can alert you of it.  My bank allows me to set the payment up based on the e-bill and the due date and the amount (BofA customers may know this as E-Bill initiated payments).  You can change the two parameters (set to pay a set amount instead of the full balance; set to pay a day or more in advance..maybe even pay late, but can't see why anyone would try to do that.. :-x)
