Abolish Red Light Cameras in Longview

Thursday evening City Council will consider possibly EXTENDING the contract for the use of red light cameras beyond their required time frame (1 year), they can be removed as soon as 2/14/12 but council may put this off until May!!!

What happened to the council members saying they would listen to the citizens wishes, based on the initiative results?


Abolish Red Light Cameras in Longview

they're politicians. the Prop 1 asked voters if they wanted to continue the cameras beyond the contract date of May 1, the official 1 year term of the contract ends 2/14 because the first citation was issues 2/14/11, so the earliest we can ...terminate the red light cameras would be 2/14/12 with 90 days notice. some council members and staff are now arguing that the voters are OK with extending the contract from 2/14/12 to 05/01/12 since that was the actual date listed in the proposition. Our argument is the Intent of the voters was made quite clear and that the red light cameras should be removed just as soon as the contract allows: 2/14/12 which would require we give notice to remove them by: 12/14/11 make sense?
