They asked the question do you favor or oppose leasing the Ohio Turnpike to a private company in order to generate funds for the State of Ohio? 28% in favor and 72% oppose

A big deal here in Toledo, Ohio is the photo enforcement to issue tickets to drives who speed and/or go through “red” lights. How many of you know that most of that money is sent to the State of Arizona and not kept here for our own tax payers? That’s right! Such systems photograph vehicles that exceed the speed limit and mail tickets to the owner of the vehicle, even if you were not the driver. The survey asked, “at what speed over the posted limit should these systems begin to issue tickets on varying kinds of roadways?” Then they stated different types, ie schools zones, residential streets, interstate, etc. I believe they should not be able to use the red/speed cams at all, they are unconstitutional at any cost and we are paying for them.
