Ty's Take

Antonito's gotten serious about enforcement on both fronts this week—red-light cameras going in around town, and over in the county a traffic stop turned up enough meth and distribution weight to make the state police take notice. It's the kind of one-two punch you see when a small place decides it's had enough of something: the cameras are about sending a message to speeders and light-runners, and that drug bust is about what happens when somebody thinks a rural county is still soft. Neither one gets fixed overnight, but you can feel a shift when the sheriff and the city both start moving the same direction. Traffic safety and keeping the harder stuff off the streets aren't complicated ideals, but they're the kind that matter most in towns where everybody knows everybody.
