Washington: Judge keeps red-light camera measure on ballot
The court ruled in favor of the city of Mukilteo and Snohomish County last week, allowing the Initiative No. 2 red-light camera issue to remain on the Nov. 2 ballot. Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes said the camera issue was unique in that not only do the citizens want to vote, but the City Council wants to hear from the people. “I see no harm in letting the voters vote,” Downes said. Mukilteo Citizens for Simple Government sued the city of Mukilteo and Snohomish County to stop the red-light cameras from reaching the ballot.
