Ind. Law - More golf cart stories

The ILB has had a long list of entries on the subject of use of golf carts on streets and roads, a subject seemingly growing more pressing as the baby boomers age.

From a HeraldTimesOnline story by Emily Thickstun:

Streets, dredging, noise pollution, buses, annexation, crime, B-line Trail, recycling and being mayor.

Mayor Mark Kruzan addressed these topics and more in a chat Thursday on HeraldTimesOnline.com.

Of the record-setting 30 questions, there was only one question to which Kruzan didn’t know the answer. But he promised to follow up on whether or not golf carts are allowed on city streets.

Meanwhile, from South Carolina's The State.com, this report:
The House has overridden its first veto of the session, approving a bill that allows golf carts to be driven on Richland County roads.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Todd Rutherford, D-Richland, would allow tailgaters at Williams-Brice Stadium, for instance, to drive a golf cart on main roads within a half-mile of the stadium. The carts would be required to use headlights and taillights at night.

Gov. Mark Sanford vetoed the bill, which applies only to Richland County, in October.

The vote to override was unanimous. If the local senators follow suit, the bill will become law despite Sanford’s objection.

"The vote to override was unanimous." This story, as well as the ILB entries listed previously, may give a pretty good indication of the public interest in use of golf carts on public ways.
