The 17-year-old parking tickets were not important until he decided to run for President of the United States. As he prepared to announce his campaign for the White House, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama [pictured] took care of some unfinished business at Harvard University -- paying about $400 in parking fines dating back to his days as a law student
Obama paid Cambridge $375 on January 26 for 17 parking tickets received between 1988 and 1990, she said. He paid neighboring Somerville another $45 for late fees on two parking tickets from the early 1990s, a Somerville official added.
Obama also paid a $73 auto excise tax he owed Somerville, said city spokesman Tom Champion.
