One thing is for sure, you won't get an accurate picture from Hansville's "mainstream media", such as it is. Your best reference source for the whole Hansville speed bump fiasco is the Beep4Bumps site, run by Hansville resident John Hostvedt. Beep4Bumps.com was the original rallying point for Hansville residents who first objected to the bumps and the way they came about, and since those early days John has done a Herculean job of obtaining, posting, and discussing the facts and evidence regarding the bumps. The site has grown with lots of content over time, so it can be a little hard to find just what you're looking for, but in all likelihood it IS there. Does John have an opinion? Sure, and you will definitely see that come through - but even if you don't agree with everything John says, there is a treasure trove of source data and information that puts the pro-bumpers' propaganda to shame.
If you've not yet checked out Beep4Bumps.com, take a look - but be prepared for your blood pressure to go up a little as you unravel the facts behind an (all too typical) example of small-town special interest groups getting cozy with their pals in County government . . .

Although the speed bumps are a lightning rod for discontent in this community they have done one good thing: they have brought the GHAAC to the attention of regular citizens in Hansville. If the RSAC and GHAAC had not brought us the speed bumps they might very well still be operating under the radar.
