What really upset me the other

day was a letter from a Golfview resident lecturing parents about their

driving. Who are you to lecture other people? You are entitled to you

opinion, even if it comes off as holier than thou! I'll just ask all drivers

to respect the law.

This issue comes down to equal

protection under the law, probably an alien concept to some elected officials.

Is speeding OK in other neighborhoods?

As the presentation at a special

session of the City Council showed, these speed bumps and stop signs violate

state law and do not correct the real problem, aggressive drivers. This

"pilot program" is a major flop and needs to be fixed before

someone loses their life because of delayed emergency response or by running

a stop sign by mistake.

I may not blow my horn, but

I'm sure the 700-plus residents who signed the petition against speed

bumps will "sound off" with me come next election day.
