People of Canton, Ohio, you have made your voices heard. It appears that Mayor Healy wants to be reelected next time he runs, so he is pulling the red light camera and speed camera plans “for now.” Mayor Healy blames it on the fact that “Council is not on board.” Mayor Healy should have stuck to his guns. He should have asked for a vote on Monday, so Council could be on the record as being against the issue of red light cameras. Mr. Healy chickened out. I wonder if any Redflex goons will be golfing in his next golf outing. We will see how long until the issue comes back, but we can relax for now. For more information see the Canton Repository article.
I would like to thank Nick of www.SexCpotatoes.com/blog for helping to get the word out. His blog has had some very good information on it, please pay him a visit and thank him for his hard work. I would also like to thank the folks at www.myrosscounty.com for some GREAT information, including the recordings of short yellow lights and sham hearings.
Now that the Canton Ohio red light cameras and speed cameras are dead, we can turn our focus to the proposed speed cameras in construction zones that were included in Ohio HB2. I have written my state senator, urging him to vote against these automatic traffic ticketing devices.
