DEL.ICIO.USRed-light camera bill gets the green light, and so does a Feb. 5 presidential primary
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
House Majority Leader Jerry Keen of St. Simons Island just finished a morning press conference, laying out the priorities for a two-day crush of legislation that hits next week.
First news item: California’s decision to move its presidential primary to Feb. 5 guarantees the movement of similar legislation in Georgia, he said. We’re headed to a national primary, people, and don’t nobody know where it’s going to lead.
Second news item: Among the small list of priorities Keen rattled off, at the top was a bill intended to remove the financial incentives that lawmakers say are causing cities and counties to erect red-light cameras across the state — as revenue-raising ventures rather than traffic safety tools.
The bill doesn’t have his name on it, but H.B. 77 is Speaker Glenn Richardson’s baby. Here’s the audio link to the speech he gave before a House committee on the topic.
