Traffic Tickets For Elected Officials Too
posted (July 27, 2012)
And we close tonight with a small story - one that may make the average citizen rest their heads a little easier tonight.

7news has confirmed that a traffic ticket for excessive tint has been issued to honourable Erwin Contreras's ministerial vehicle. That happened this week in Cayo - though the minister wasn't in the vehicle. We understand that ticket has been paid. In a major crackdown - we understand as many as one hundred such tickets have been issued in Cayo.

And, city councilor Phillip Willoughby told us that just like the mayor, he too has gotten a traffic ticket. Philloughby got his one for parking in a no parking zone at the KHMH. That one's a no brainer and here at 7news we've gotten plenty of those - and had to pay them. But Willoughby says he plans to challenge it in court on the grounds that he had nowhere else to park. Good luck with that.
