There is the possibility that Hampton, Florida will be wiped off the map. This city has taken unreasonable actions to boost the cities financial status by setting up ridiculous speed traps down a 1,260-foot stretch of highway. Issued tickets resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines. The questionable part though is where did all the money go? Horribly enough no one really knows. All the while the mayor of this town was sitting in jail! He was charged with dealing oxycodone to an undercover police officer, though he refuses being related to any sort of drug dealing. He had only been in office a few weeks when he was stripped of his duties and sent to prison. He also states he is in no way related to the cities mess and believes the money being collected in indeed not going back to the city, rather into someones pocket. From this, some state law makers want this city to finally disappear.
I find this incredibly insane, especially the fact that no one has questioned or monitored this case earlier. If my money was missing or i felt that our town was being unfairly treated, i would've taken action with the state much sooner.
