Is This How Your Town Got Them? Traffic Camera CEO pleads Guilty To Bribing Politicians

• thefreethoughtproject.com

The termination is the result of a recent court case, where former Redflex CEO Karen Finley pleaded guilty to bribing politicians as a part of the company's business strategy.

According to a statement just released by Mayor Michael Coleman's office "the actions of the Redflex executives have raised questions about the integrity of their program."

However, the mayor did also say that his office is generally in support of red light cameras, but that they just had to cut ties with this company over the alleged corruption. The mayor seems to think that hiring a different company would be somehow less corrupt.

Mayor Coleman, along with Columbus City Council President Andrew Ginther claimed that they have nothing to do with the allegations and have turned over documents relating to the case to federal investigators.
