Thousands of people who had their state income taxes withheld last year to pay old automated traffic camera tickets in Cedar Rapids would get refunds, while tens of thousands more unpaid tickets would be waived under a proposed settlement of a class-action lawsuit, reports the Cedar Rapids Gazette. The city of Cedar Rapids would refund $3 million to settle a January 2018 lawsuit led by WHO radio personality Simon Conway over a city collection effort launched days before Christmas two years ago. City officials said they would no longer attempt to collect unpaid tickets issued before Aug. 31, 2018, under the automated camera program, which amounts to about 177,000 tickets.
