    The Ohio Libertarian Party, in part with the "Peirce for Governor of Ohio" campaign, are arranging state-wide protests of redlight cameras all around Ohio this Thursday, along with sending out media notification and press releases of the events trying to garner local coverage in all areas.

    If you are interested, or willing to participate in the event, in your area or a nearby area, please contact me, and I will forward information on how to contact your local coordinator.

    This event is taking place ALL across Ohio, so any Ohio residents who wish to participate, PLEASE contact me in any format. (email via Volconvo, Private Message, or my personal e-mail: osbornfenready@yahoo.com )

    Thank you for your time, and hopefully for your support.

    Steubenville, Ohio Voters Overwhelmingly Reject Speed Cameras

    Steubenville, Ohio Voters Overwhelmingly Reject Speed Cameras
    Steubenville, Ohio becomes the fourth US community that has voted on and rejected photo radar.

    VotingAn overwhelming majority of voters in Steubenville, Ohio rejected the city's speed camera program yesterday in a referendum on whether the city ordinance authorizing the program should stand. With all precincts reporting, 76.2 percent of voters said "no."

    The program began last year issuing nearly 7000 tickets worth $85 each to motorists driving as little as 5 MPH over the speed limit. It would have generated nearly $600,000 in revenue until Jefferson County Court of Common Pleas Judge David E. Henderson struck down the city ordinance as illegal in March. Because the city is bound by contract to continue the services of German camera operator Traffipax, regardless of the program's legality, it defied the judge's order and reinstated an essentially identical ordinance to continue issuing citations.

    Tuesday's vote puts an end to the traffic cameras and serves as a victory for attorney Gary Stern who won a class action lawsuit to return the money that had been illegally collected from motorists. He also gathered enough signatures to put the speed camera question to a vote of the people. The public has never voted in favor of photo enforcement. Between 1991 and 1997, voters turned out in Batavia, Illinois; Peoria, Arizona and Anchorage, Alaska to reject photo radar.
