Editor,
Redflex should not be allowed to do business in San Mateo County. I remember as a child growing up hearing things like, “stay away from so-and-so, he’s a bad influence,” or you’d judged by the company you keep.
Editor,
Redflex should not be allowed to do business in San Mateo County. I remember as a child growing up hearing things like, “stay away from so-and-so, he’s a bad influence,” or you’d judged by the company you keep.
Several years ago, I publicly stated that the Redflex Traffic Systems Inc. should not be allowed to do business in San Mateo County. Today I am saying it again because of a ticket I received that was dismissed and the company’s lack of interest in fixing a breach of security in its system. Today, six years later we see Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has banned Redflex from competing for future contracts in his city. There were allegations that a city employee received bribes and the amount is around $2 million. Since this has occurred, the stock prices have dropped by more than half, and several of its top executives have been fired or resigned.
The city of Redwood City has an opportunity to demonstrate to the public that ethics do matter. Redflex had a contract with the city which has expired. Please do the right thing and say, “No” to Redflex. Several other cities and counties have done just that.
