Their was no deceit by anyone, either. What deceit? Deceit to enforce the law? If there is 'fraud' the contract would be invalid.
You want to break a contract with a vote? Is that how you handle your own creditors? Didn't like the plan so your house had a vote and you stopped paying your bills?
If every contractor of the millions providing services from feeding soldiers to cleaning gutters had to worry about the government invalidating their contract because some retards passed a ballot initiative, the cost of the contracts would skyrocket or companies would stop providing services.
Since you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about, stop posting to me.
They are getting paid their liquidated damages. But see my #23. Those who voted for the cameras need to reimburse the city for the damages.
The voters had no say in red light cameras (until this election) just as they had no say in the smoking bans.
Even the bar owners that supported the restaurant ass. push for a ban in RESTAURANTS didn’t support the expansion of that policy to the bars (incrementalism).
We can vote for city council, but have no input. They are going to do what they want to do (empire build).
We’ve even had mayors in Houston issuing “executive orders”. Now our PRESIDENTS have signed executive orders because of a state of emergency that was entered into in wartime (and never surrendered that power). From where comes the “executive order” to issue edicts for Houston’s mayor?
Deceit was used in saying that the cameras would reduce accidents. They didn’t. It isn’t enforcing the law. There is no ticket written against the driver, they are issuing a revenue ticket against the car owner.
Laws mean things.
