Foes of those robot red light cameras in Monroe that spit out $124 speeding tickets presented more signatures to city hall Wednesday in an effort to get a public vote on the cameras.
Ty Balascio of Monroe, head of a group called Seeds Of Liberty, presented close to 900 new signatures to Monroe’s City Hall Thursday morning, one day before the deadline
“A group of us met at Monroe City Hall to deliver the second wave of signatures for Monroe Initiative #1. When we originally furnished signatures for this petition the requirement was to submit 999 signatures, and we turned in 1250. After the certification we were told that 375 additional signatures were required, and today we turned in another 870,” wrote Balascio on the group’s web page.
“Once the county certifies 999 signatures, it will head to city leadership to determine if the initiative should go on the ballot, or be adopted as-is. As the discussion moves forward, we must remain engaged with Monroe’s leaders and follow their decisions closely,” added Balascio.
He said an outpouring of support from across the community enabled the success with the new signatures as a number of people with no history in activism volunteered time to knock on doors “all across town.”
He said businesses supported their efforts to collect signatures in front of their stores and many businesses placed their initiative on their countertops to collect signatures directly.
