Tonight, the Mt. Juliet City Commission takes up the subject of Red Light Cameras. My commissioner, James Maness, wrote the bill and is the sponsor. Last week, I did my civic duty and called James (yes, we are on a first-name basis), and asked him to please vote for the legislation he has proposed.
The bill, if passed, would end the contract with the company that provides the "service." As it stands, the contract would auto-renew in January of 2013. This bill would simply prevent the auto-renewal.
James promised he would vote for his legislation, and gave me "best guesses" on what the other commissioners seemed to be leaning toward.
At the time of this blog post, there is no definitive information on the result. However, that will be updated as soon as the information becomes available.
