Oshkosh Common Council Considers Permanent Ban on License Plate Readers

Oshkosh Common Council Considers Permanent Ban on License Plate Readers

The Oshkosh Common Council is set to deliberate on a resolution that would enact a permanent ban on all automated license plate reading (ALPR) technology within the city. This includes devices such as Flock Safety cameras. Deputy Mayor Karl Beulow, who authored the resolution, has indicated his support for the measure. The proposed resolution aims to prohibit the implementation or adoption of any ALPR technology unless it receives explicit oversight and consent from the council. Beulow emphasized that this initiative serves as a clear communication to both city staff and residents, signaling a commitment to thorough evaluation before any such technology is adopted. He likened ALPR technology to dynamite, suggesting it is too powerful for individual discretion, contrasting it with the common analogy of a hammer. This discussion follows the city of Oshkosh's cancellation of its contract with Flock Safety on April 22, with Winnebago County following suit on September 4.

Hawaii Senate to Hold Hearing on Governor Green's Kauhale Initiative Following Critical Audit

Hawaii Senate to Hold Hearing on Governor Green's Kauhale Initiative Following Critical Audit

The Hawaii Senate plans to convene a hearing in November to address concerns surrounding Governor Josh Green’s kauhale initiative, a program designed to combat homelessness. This decision comes after an audit revealed over $13.7 million in payments that were categorized as 'unauthorized, unsupported or questionable.' Key state senators, including Joy San Buenaventura and Sharon Moriwaki, have expressed significant concerns regarding potential mismanagement and a lack of oversight in the program's funding and implementation. The audit highlighted that the Statewide Office of Homelessness and Housing Solutions (SOHHS) and HomeAid Hawaiʻi, the primary contractor, were not adequately prepared for the rapid expansion of the kauhale project, which accelerated under emergency proclamations issued by Governor Green. Despite these concerns, Governor Green's office has stated that they welcome further discussion and are addressing the issues, pointing to the program's success in increasing the number of sheltered ho...
