With Speed Cameras Turned Off, Blame Game Begins
The finger pointing has begun.
On the day speed cameras on New York City streets were due to be turned off, Republican and Democratic lawmakers turned on each other in a fierce effort to assess blame for the failure to keep the cameras operating.
State Sen. Martin Golden, a Republican representing Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst and other southern Brooklyn neighborhoods, held a press conference in front of P.S. 185 in Bay Ridge Wednesday morning and called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to call the state Senate back into session in Albany to take a vote to reinstate the cameras.
