[Grovenet] Policing in the Grove

[Steele, Mike]

Steven...good points.  I think there is a town somewhere near Eugene
along the I-5 corridor that made much of its annual revenue from tickets
(perhaps like Carlton?)...and I believe that a state law was passed that
limited such revenues to no more than 20% of the annual
total...something like that.  Having said that, I don't think FG
approaches that level.  Do you know?

On that basis, we should force everyone to become obease and smoke. You
live
shorter lives and cost 'the commons' less in healthcare over your
lifietime.
Handing out tickets for seat belt infractions costs money to many folks
who
don't have the spare bux nor time. A reminder might be in order. But it
does
bring in more $$$. Just like photo radar stuff. Is it there for 'the
common'
or for revenue?
