7/11/05-The Senate approved a bill Monday, July 11, intended to put a cap on one of Oregon’s most notorious speed traps.
Sponsored by Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, the bill limits how much money the city of Coburg, a town of about 1,000 people north of Eugene, is allowed to generate through speeding fines on traffic along Interstate 5.
The cap of 10 percent of the city’s general fund would cut the Williamette Valley town’s revenues by about $180,000.
SB1074 now heads to the Assembly for further consideration. If approved there, it would go to Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s desk.
