PHS Students Document Downtown Jaywalkers

Students of Portland High School’s school redesign class have begun taking pictures of various jaywalkers in downtown Portland, in rebuttal to the recent "bad press" PHS students received in the daily press. Students say they are not above the law, but as long as they are under it, so is the rest of the community. They say that students at PHS are not the only jaywalkers, and that the businessmen and women walking casually across the street whenever they please can pay the $138 fine for jaywalking a lot easier than a student can.
