Editor, The Transcript:

Did the City of Norman really spend a million dollars on "speed humps" in the last six years? What were we thinking? Now some are having second thoughts about "humps" on CART and emergency vehicles routes.

No mention of school bus routes though. These concerns were voiced by many citizens years ago but were ignored. Whatever happened to Law Enforcement "calming traffic?"

The "humps" continue to grow. Thirty-seven of the latest ones need to be modified due to severity of graduation at a cost of $2,000 each. Did we not have specifications when we contracted for these to be installed? Did we not check before we paid the contractor to be sure the "humps" were installed correctly? Are we really that stupid?

Or as long as it is someone else's money you're spending it doesn't matter. Voters of Norman wake up. On next election day, remember how this City Council is spending your money. Or better yet demand a stop to this nonsense now!
