Sound Off (April 7) Study says red-light cameras cause accidents

A University Of South Florida College Of Public Health study says there is up to a 40% increase in accident rates at some red light camera intersections nationwide.

if the europe loves the Obamas so much. They can keep them.

[Concerned]

How on earth can the county say my house is worth more when the value has obviously dropped in this economy? I say we all line up and protest our values. I am tired of sitting down and taking it all!

[BottleRocket]

All of the people calling for a property tax revolt because of declining home values are being short-sighted. Let's say everyone received a 40% reduction in their assessed value. All that would happen is that the tax RATE would have to increase an equivalent amount so that the dollars generated are the same. Do you really think the cost of running the government would decrease???

"There is nothing much to like about the AIG bailout, but it was put together by the Republican appointed, quasi independent, Federal Reserve last September, not Congress (for anyone interested in reality)."

The reality is that you are another graduate of the useless Las Cruces education system. Secratary? Why don't you try Secretary!

Reading today's Sound Off Comments is enough to give anyone nightmares. I have never read so much drivel and just plain stupid comments in my life.

It ranges from the "there are no safety benefits from red light cameras" to "assault rifles are not mentioned in the constitution".

Why is it that Las Cruces appears to be populated with the stupids? Not only do they practice this on a daily basis, they also want to make sure that the rest of us are always aware that they are here. All of you need to crawl back into your holes and pull the covers behind you!

It’s a clever conspiracy to see just how stupid you’ll behave. You see, it’s only three people that take turns submitting all the drivel to the Sun News Sound Off column. We do it in hopes that one day you have a coronary and stop your infernal flaming attacks on everything you personally don’t like. By the way, you are not the social consciousness of Las Cruces so go pound sand.

Mistakes in grammar, culture, history, and social
issues are made on purpose just to give the people
searching, something to doooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Sorry to North Korea for your missile not working, maybe we can help, oh wait I cut military spending. Im sorry Mexico for putting up borders, you all can come over and even the drug lords. Im sorry Iraq for killing your president Saddam Hussain, maybe we can find you a replacement. Finally, sorry to Osama Bin Laden I understand your hate for America. But cant we all agree that my Wife looks good today." President of the United States Obama

I find it amusing that Endland has banned guns, yet they still have a violence problem. They're new solution is to ban knives. What's next, axes and pipes? The problem isn't the gun or the knife, rather its the criminal holding it. These people need to be delt with.

Don't you know the difference between They're, their, and there? You are no doubt another Las Cruces public schools product who moved to Alabama and raised the average IQ of both states in the process.

Let your conscience be your guide, just make sure it's not the conscience of an a.s.s. You stink as a person, as a commentor, as a human.

"I have been reading about the license fee for dogs in the paper. Where I came from the fee was much more than $5.00 for altered animals. I also think if you are a breeder so you don't have your animal alteredand are making money from your pets, you can more than afford the $50.00. We have too many pets because people are not responsible enough. I think thefees that have been proposed are verylow."

Let's punish the responsible pet owners by blanket taxes. Just because fees(taxes) are higher elsewhere doesn't mean that we need them here. Cigarette taxes, pet taxes, sugar(soda) taxes, feet taxes, seat taxes, breathing taxes, pay for other peoples' kids taxes, bail out incompetents business owner taxes, & etcetera taxes. Where does it end? If you don't take care of your pet, then it is time for a major fine, not a tax. Aren't you tired of being grouped wth idiots yet? Quit Californicating New Mexico!!
