Texas

Texas and it's politics has a lot wrong with it, but they are now doing something that is  the right thing to do.  A few years ago, most of the towns and cities got on the kick of red light cameras.  Here where I live, they were installed without voter approval.  Well, they were snapping cars stopped at red lights and ticketing them.  A citizen started a ballot to get it on the ballot.  We got it on the ballot.  We voted them down.  We had people from the company at the polls trying to intimidate voters into voting for keeping them.  That didn't last long.  The poll workers called the cops on them.. After the vote, the company paid two citizens to file a lawsuit.  They won the lawsuit, but the city officials were smart enough to remove the cameras because we had spoken and they knew that they would face that at the polls.  So no more red light cameras for us. 

Several towns followed suit and removed the cameras.  Fast forward to now.
Our legislature is voting on a state wide ban on cameras because they violate the Constitution in that the ones receiving the tickets  in the mail cannot face their accusers.  So, even though Texas politics and politicians are so dirty that pigs would shy away from them, every once in a while they do something right.
