Ticket keeps visitor away

I recently received a ticket from your esteemed city officials and due to this I will never set foot in Cedar Rapids again.
As part of my job, I have stayed in Cedar Rapids while working in Coralville. But I will no longer be patronizing your hotels, grocery stores, cleaners, gas stations, bookstores, drugstores and restaurants because your mayor and City Council felt it more important to obtain less than $100 from me in the form of a ticket instead of having me support your livelihood by patronizing your businesses.
I paid my ticket, but I will miss you all, especially those of you at Donutland and the Residence Inn.
