City voting on extra speeding fee

Today city officials in Holly Springs, Ga. will vote on whether to add a $12 fuel fee to speeding tickets.

The fee is expected to help combat rising gas prices which are causing a deficit in the Holly Springs budget.

City officials say the police department has burned through more than half of its $38,050 fuel budget so far this year. Officials say at that rate, the department's fuel budget likely will be drained by late November.
