every citizen that spoke was opposed to the increase.

The BOS voted against the will of the people.

I have a better idea. Just eliminate photo radar. No more strain on the courts due to appeals. Problem solved.

So is this generalissimo Smith’s idea or more bad legal advise from Tom Irvine? Or could it be direction from the “Don” trying to get more money for bail? Either way, sounds like they will be in court again. Someone please send them a copy of the Constitution!

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ makes the Supervisors wheels go ’round. If you want to know what goes on in someone’s mind, listen to what they talk about, and watch what they do. With our illustrious BoS, it is ALL about the $ $, and making it flow their way.

Heard anything lately about budget cuts for tight times? Heard anything about compassion for overburdened taspayers? Nope! With these folks, it is all about themselves, and the $ $ $ , of course.

Barry Young was talking about this on his show today, how the county supervisors didn’t post a public notice of this vote until yesterday, 1 day before the vote, the minimum length of notice required by law. They did that on purpose so people would be less likely to find out about it and show up to express public opposition to the vote. More shady politics by the county supervisors. It’s like trying to hide a tax increase from the voters. This current crop of supervisors is always pulling political ploys like that in order to hide their big spending and tax increases.

The agenda says that the money will go to the justice courts, but if you’ve worked in government for very long, you know that the Supervisors have a bad tendency of raiding other government agencies funding. Remember they forced all other county agencies including law enforcement to cut their budgets recently by 15%. I wouldn’t trust them on this one. I suspect that a significant amount of that money will find its way to the Supervisors coffers.
