“At the June 19th Tallahassee city commission meeting, elected officials will consider approving a contract with RedSpeed Florida, LLC. for the City of Tallahassee School Speed Zone Enforcement program.”
PREDICTION: The contract WILL be approved with the usual 3/2 vote. Porter and Matlow in opposition with the “Three Musketeers,” Dailey, Richardson and Cox, approving.
The “fix” is always in. Follow the money folks…….just follow the money.
I guess the City Commissioners didn’t learn from the “Red Light Camera” debacle. Waste of Money.
So the city wants to approve a contract with RedSpeed to enforce speed zones in school zones.
Why isn’t the local police department handling this? You can drive up and down North Monroe street almost any time you wish and not see a TPD vehicle. You can watch the lights at all of the major intersections and watch red light runners. The downtown intersections where people stop and block the intersection are well known but the “do not block intersection” rules aren’t enforced.
But TPD is so cramped at the 7th st station that they need $135,000,000 for a new, larger set of offices. Perhaps if they were on the streets actually enforcing some of the traffic laws they wouldn’t be so cramped at their current facility.
add another $3.4 million! in settlements going out the door plus wastewater spills
Jack Quillman; good question! TR??
Did TPD’s Financial Crimes Unit ever find the missing million from the City’s coffer ? It was March 29th when the public was made aware and it’s now…. middle of June. Have to conclude it was an inside job. Prove me wrong.
