The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners voted March 24 to ban red-light cameras and speed enforcement cameras from county-owned rights of way and county-maintained roads, citing due process concerns raised by a recent Florida court ruling.

Doug Chico didn’t plan to run for Congress. The 35-year-old Navy veteran and sixth-generation Northwest Florida native said he’d rather spend more time with his family.

The Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners is set to consider ratifying the submission of a $5 million federal grant application to fund the widening of a heavily congested stretch of State Road 85 in Crestview known as the “Miracle Mile.”

The Okaloosa County Commission will consider a resolution Tuesday to ban red light cameras and speed detection systems from county roadways and rights-of-way, a move prompted by a Broward County court ruling that struck down part of Florida’s automated traffic enforcement law as unconstitutional.
