Red lights are warranted


April 4, 2012 · Updated 6:05 PM 

How could any rational City Council person be opposed to red light cameras?

They catch scofflaws, reduce accidents and produce revenue for the City.

The argument they seem to offer is that it makes the city seem unfriendly? It could only seem unfriendly to criminals.

Who does the council represent? Criminals from out of town or the law-abiding, honest citizens who live here?
