PHOTO RADAR MAYBE STAYING MAYBE GOING

posted by Christopher Conover

State Sen. Frank Antenori (R-Vail) is no fan of photo radar or red light cameras. So he proposed SCR 1029 on the ballot which would have asked voters to decide whether or not to make the cameras illegal statewide.

But when the proposal got to the Senate floor it ran into opposition. In fact, the Senate voted the bill down 13-15 seemingly keeping photo radar around.

The proposal did not die in legislative terms though. Even though Sen. Antenori is a sponsor of the proposal, he voted against it. That allowed him through parliamentary moves to revive the bill for another vote on the Senate floor. So far that vote has not been scheduled. That means Antenori, who is the Majority Whip, now must set about changing minds before the proposal comes up again.
