Buckhorn willing to move surveillance cameras, but not for $10,000 a pop

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn said he'd be amenable to moving some of the

controversial surveillance cameras in downtown Tampa, but only under certain circumstances.

"If it's going to cost $10,000 to move a camera, I'm not doing it," Buckhorn told CL on Saturday night before the Hillsborough County Democratic Party's Kennedy-King dinner.

The costs of moving the cameras come with different price tags (something the Tampa City Council should recognize). Last week, Tampa Police Department officials informed the Council that creating a single-pole mounted camera in a different location would cost $10,000.
