Hundreds of Houston, Texas residents swarmed the city council chambers yesterday to complain about the reactivation of red light cameras. Voters in November enacted a charter amendment banning the use of automated ticketing machines, but a federal judge worked with the city attorney and vendor American Traffic Solutions (ATS) to nullify the election so that the cameras could come back.
"Ever since I was a little kid I was told this was the greatest nation in the world and it was great because I had a vote and my vote counted," resident Terry Dry said. "It appears my vote does not. I'm asking y'all as our elected leaders, we voted. Turn them off. And if you're not going to do that, I would like to know where each council member stands on the issue so that we can get some people in here who will do the people's will in the next election."
