Wenatchee mayor opposes I-985
Wenatchee mayor Dennis Johnson doesn’t seem to like I-985:
Eyman’s newest initiative, I-985, would take money that cities generate from red-light-camera tickets and send it to a statewide transportation fund.
The cameras would be installed at busy intersections in an attempt to improve traffic safety by catching drivers who run red lights.
“Quite frankly I have no problem with the money being used locally for traffic-congestion projects,” Johnson said Tuesday night. “But there is no way the city of Wenatchee will become a tax collector for the state of Washington. It certainly is not acceptable from my point of view.”

Agreed.
