Washington: Group trying to prevent red-light initiative with lawsuit
This city’s debate over red-light cameras just got hotter. A group calling itself Mukilteo Citizens for Simple Government filed a lawsuit late Monday attempting to keep the city’s red-light camera initiative off the Nov. 2 ballot. The six-page complaint attempts to block an initiative that calls for a public vote and City Council approval before red-light or speed-zone cameras can be installed in the city. The initiative also would limit fines to the least expensive traffic ticket, which is $20.
