Sloppy math, hidden records, and contractor control leave Freeport residents paying the price

On August 18, 2025, the Freeport City Council passed Ordinance No. 2025-44, amending Chapter 460 of the City Code to expand regulations on overweight and oversized vehicles. Introduced by City Manager Rob Boyer and promoted by the Miller administration as a way to “protect infrastructure,” the ordinance was approved by Council with little resistance.
