Lassus Brother, Inc. Fayette Will Try High-Tech
Donates To Swanton Lions Club Answer To Speeders In Town

By: James Pruitt
THE VILLAGE REPORTER

The village of Fayette is preparing to
try a new solution to cracking down on
speeders.
The council could approve a new
contact with Blue Line Solutions, which
offers a high-tech method to reducing
abusers of the speed limit and bring in
more revenue for the community. The
company is offering a no-risk service
which could prove to be a windfall and
make the village safer.
