Calls previous prohibition not applying to county government “clearly a loop hole”
Rep. Charles Perry, Republican-HD83, told Lubbock’s KCBD television that “It was pretty clear in Lubbock County that nobody wanted red light cameras.”
“Companies that have a product to sell,” Perry said. “If they can get a government agency to buy off on selling and pandering to that coalition of governments out there, they make a ton of money in a hurry.”
“So, you’re not really doing anything other than creating an industry segment for more money for an industry group for lobbyists to get paid out of. It’s just plain and simple,” Perry said.
