Please send an email to these city mayors and city council members who've gotten in bed with a red-light camera company whose corporate executives impersonate local citizens in order to give the illusion of local support. Ask these local officials to respond. Write something like: "Such a dramatic breach of trust exposed by the Everett Herald by the taxation-through-citation sleazeballs at this red-light camera company demand an immediate response from local elected officials. We know you receive tens of millions of dollars in profits from them, but how can you stay in bed with such a corrupt company? Such fraudulent, manipulative behavior by ATS deserves a response from our city officials. As a mayor and city council member, what's your reaction to this? I want an email from you telling me if you condone this behavior or condemn it (no response means you condone it). What are you going to do about it?"

KIRO radio's Dori Monson weighed in yesterday:

When sleazy politicians climb in bed with sleazy corporations -- Politicians are finding it tough to raise taxes in this economy - but that hasn't slaked their insatiable thirst for our money. So cities all around the region have turned to red light cameras as their latest scheme to dip into the public's pockets.

Here's what we wrote about this yesterday: https://soundpolitics.com/archives/014843.html

We must hold our elected officials accountable for this. These mayors and city council members will expose their values and their character by how they react to this outrage. But they'll only respond if they hear from you. Please send an email to them immediately.

P.S. There are thousands of politicians, bureaucrats, lobbyists, and special interest groups working each and every day to raise your taxes. Shouldn't there be at least one person, one team, one organization that fights to lower your taxes? Please help us so we can continue our successful efforts on behalf of taxpayers.
