About the Author
First it was the parking wars with the idiotic back in parking.Now we are in the speed trap zone with the new 25 mph zones strategically place around town. I would like to see a place on the report about how many golf carts are stopped==none.
Traffic law enforcement is certainly important for everyone’s safety. However, I wonder just how many cops and police vehicles one little town really needs!? It’s too bad those expensive police cruisers and numerous officers don’t seem to focus much on the other crimes against the community like burglary and drug dealing. I guess speeding tickets are more lucrative for the town and county.
