Quick cash for city

Sat., June 13, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

I have an idea about how to offset the city’s budget shortfalls. Station a patrol officer on the South Hill and catch people speeding down Ray and Freya. A police officer could add thousands to the city’s coffers every day by ticketing the offenders.

I’ve noticed very few people actually drive the 30 mph posted limit. It would be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel to catch one after another of them, bring in big bucks for the city and make driving safer on the hill.
