Lightfoot spared almost certain defeat on vote to raise speed camera ticket threshold – Chicago Sun-Times*

Ald. Susan Sadlowski-Garza acknowledged the pandemic has turned driving on Chicago streets and expressways “into the Wild, Wild West.” She said: “I have one camera that generated over a million dollars in a six-month period. It’s not making people go slower. We don’t have any traffic crashes around where the cameras are at. I have more traffic crashes on 130th, where there’s no cameras at all.”
