They have been controversial since their installation, including comments on this blog back in 2007. Today, the voters in the city decided by 52.8% to shut the cameras down. …

I did not have the opportunity to view the “One Nation” rally yesterday. As I had commented over on Big Government, I suspected that we the taxpayers were going to be stuck with the overall costs of this event. It appears that I was right.
