Jan Marx reached out to New Times after the publication of the story. She said didn’t know who owned the truck or who lived at the residence when she filed the complaints.
“As a resident, I submitted an ‘Ask Slo’ question about whether the parking spot was too close to the cross walk under the new “safe view” statute and asked staff to double check my measurements,” Marx said via email. “My main concern was pedestrian safety in the crosswalk near that busy roundabout and the San Luis Ranch market place.”
This story was updated to include Jan Marx’s response when she contacted New Times after publication.
Marx and the city spokesperson clarified that the City Council member wasn’t on medical leave at the time of reporting. This story has been updated accordingly.

• In last week’s Rhetoric & Reason column, “I am antifa, but I love (gulp) fascists,” New Times inadvertently inserted a typo into John Ashbaugh’s column during the editing process. Ashbaugh wrote that he loves fascists “not because they are worthy of my love—they most assuredly are not—but because I strive to be worthy of my Christian faith. Jesus calls us to ‘love your enemy—(and) pray for those who persecute you.’” New Times regrets the error.
