US Rt-60 (Oak St) all way thru town

Kenova, West VirginiaFeb 25, 20110 Comments

Town is 22 blocks long and has 10 cop cars in service–almost exclusively in use to issue traffic citations. Police MUST issue tickets to keep their job. They parallel park along Oak St (Rt-60) and radar oncoming traffic along that main thoroughfare as well as the other 8 thru streets. Mayor’s family has controlled the Town for 105 yrs. Town is broke and has a MultiM-$$ water & sewer problem they are fixing at drivers expense by issuing these speeding tickets.

Speed limits were recently reduced AGAIN and fines increased from $25 to $150. Following complaints from locals about the aggressive and hostile manners of the kid cops (relatives of Town Officials and their cronies). The new police chief testified on record before the mayor and City Council that the large number of tickets issued was "OK BECAUSE Most Are Issued to Out-of-State Drivers."

He is right, and most of those are our neighbors coming thru from Ky & Oh to shop or visit relatives. WELCOME STRANGERS!
