BROOKSVILLE, Florida - You could call it a love triangle, except there is no love lost between the three parties fighting over red light cameras in one of Florida's smallest cities.
Florida's leading red light camera-provider American Traffic Solutions confirms to 10 Investigates Wednesday that it has joined the fight to prevent a citizen-backed referendum on red light cameras from ever reaching a ballot. The city is also fighting the referendum on grounds that it infringes upon city council's power. (WOW the city council's power? Does their power supersede the power of the people?)
It's a very interesting read but this paragraph sums it up for me...
It amazes us that this small city can garner this much attention, except that we could set a precedent in Florida," Pat & Shirley Miketinac, the defendants who gathered the petitions, told 10 Investigates in an email. "Just imagine if the citizens found out that they could have a say in their own government. That might set a 'dangerous' precedent indeed!"
A dangerous precedent indeed!...of the people, by the people, & for the people is not just a cliche...imagine if the citizens found that out...
