The plan would allow gas stations to file for an exemption. But it is the approval process for that exemption that has some gas station employees worried about their job security.
"Right now, every time there's an incident in the middle the night, we have to deploy multiple officers," said Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr."I have 14 police officers working at 2 in the morning, and five or six of them will be tied up at a gas station."Colleen Kozubal gets off work around the time the gas stations would close.
An approval process will make exemptions to the rule, the city will decide on a case-by-case basis if certain gas stations will remain open – weighing a location's willingness to share video with police, its proximity to expressways, and taking into account any violent crime that has happened there before.
The plan is not enough for some gas station owners, who worry the move could cost them jobs and businesses.
