Will the Chron pay any fines its readers incur?

Here's yesterday's Chronicle correction:

•No city of Houston heavy trash pickup is scheduled today or Wednesday. A schedule on Page B2 Friday-Monday contained incorrect information. A correct schedule for the rest of the week appears on Page B2 today.

Let's remember that Mayor White instituted a heavy trash zero tolerance policy in 2004, and ignorance is not a defense:

Ignorance of the schedule or absentmindedness will not prevent tickets ranging from $50 to $2,000 for schedule violators, he [Houston Police Officer Tony Emanuel] said.

There's no mention of ignorance based on a local newspaper's editing error.
