GOVERNOR SAYS LEGISLATIVE REPEAL OF TRAFFIC CAM TO BECOME LAW
Governor Ben Cayetano today said that in response to the Legislature's intent to repeal the traffic photo enforcement program, he has instructed Transportation Director Brian Minaai to terminate the pilot program. The Governor intends to allow the legislation to pass into law without his signature.
"The traffic van cam law is the creation of the Legislature, and if they want to now cancel the program it will be cancelled, " said Governor Cayetano.
The Governor said it is unfortunate the pilot program has met with an early demise because its objective was a good one: to promote safety on our roads and highways by controlling speeding. "Driving at faster speeds has become a habit for many drivers and explains, at least in part, why there was so much opposition to the traffic van cam."
