OPINION: State Senate leaves speed camera issue hanging
What were they thinking?
How could the members of the New York State Senate adjourn for a not-that-well-deserved vacation without taking care of a piece of business that could have direct impact on the safety of the city’s school children?
The senators failed to act on legislation already passed by the state Assembly that would allow the city to continue using speed cameras in school zones until 2022. If the Senate does not act, the authorization first approved in 2013 will expire in less than two weeks on July 25.
