CS Red Light Cameras Headed for Vote
Reporter: KBTX Staff

It was just last Thursday when red-light camera opponents dropped off their petition at city hall.
Wednesday they got the answer they were hoping to hear.
By a comfortable margin, the petition has been certified by the city.
That means after the council signs off on it next month, the issue of whether to keep or abandon red light cameras will be decided by voters.
The petition had to have the signatures of at least 846 registered voters, or 25% of the number that voted in the last city election. The final count yielded 924 valid signatures.
No word yet on the date of the red light election.
The petition drive was spear-headed by College Station resident Jim Ash who's been actively opposing red light cameras for months.
