Tx legislature finally has some voices trying to eradicate the red light cameras, as a 'state wide tax not approved by the populace', which is a violation of the state constitution. As for the seat belts; I have never understood why it is ok to ride my motorcycle without a helmet, wearing flip flops, no shirt and shorts but riding in an Explorer without a seat belt on is deemed too risky!?!
All boils down to $. Insurance lobby here is huge, and they love the revenue of rising premiums, and we all know how the state loves cash!
