Really? I guess we will see. Keep in mind as long as the cameras are in the ground they can be turned back on anytime, even after the election.

Text book case of what happens when you contract out to corporations services that should be controlled by the government. Corporations will hold the people hostage as they answer only to shareholders, not the will of the people.

I don't know who the "You" is, but I haven't said that, of course you have thoroughly avoided honesty in your accusations in the past I wouldn't expect that to change. So what if she is just doing it for the votes? which of course she is. We know she wants the money to keep rolling in. The change of heart only came after a poll showing low job approval numbers. I don't care what the reasons are for her doing the right thing as long as she does.

this red light camera issue is ridiculous. if you run a red light, you DESERVE A TICKET. maybe you've notice there is real crime in this city and I'd rather the 10 cops we have do real police work instead of traffic violations. who cares if 'the people' voted. 'the people' are irresponsible idiots.

LOL, you've just totally bashed and negated the Gettysburg Address.


"…and that government: of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Nice job.

You should move to Cuba, or North Korea.
