So in other words the city doesn't want to accept the results of the court, however we the people should accept the results when the city get the way it wants..? Hmmmm i see a conflict in this thought process.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <c...@springfieldmo.gov> Date: Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 4:21 PM Subject: City of Springfield News Release - Council Votes to Request Rehearing on Cameras To: t.ma...@gmail.com In closed session on March 4, 2010, the Springfield City Council voted to authorize a request for rehearing or modification of the red light camera decision handed down by the Missouri Supreme Court this week. A request for rehearing is not an appeal. Instead, the request will ask the court to reconsider specific portions of the decision. The Council authorized hiring outside legal counsel to handle the filing of the rehearing, as well as the related class action lawsuit filed this week. In addition, Council members requested that a fact sheet prepared by City staff be forwarded to the media, and that information is attached in the electronic version of this release. If any members of the media need the fact sheet faxed to them, they can contact the Pubic Information Department at the number below.

It is important to note that the payments are a flat monthly fee paid on a per-approach basis.
