This information is provided by the candidate
Diana Serafin successfully got the Initiative to Ban the Red Light Traffic Cameras on the Murrieta Ballot in November 2012.
I wrote, walked and gathered signatures for a peition to Ban the Red Light Cameras in Murrieta, CA. Successfully, I gathered over 6300 signatures to qualify the peition for the November 2012 ballot. The red light cameras are a revenue generating scam, not a system for safety.
