We have a new way of raising money for the state. Set up speed cameras on the main roads and watch the money roll in and if anyone questions it just say it's really for safety.
That is what State Senator Terry Link is proposing in a new piece of legislation. According to Senator Link "If people start to slow down, they wouldn't have to worry about the fines,". Under the proposed law, speeding tickets issued by the cameras would be treated as non-moving offenses, just like parking tickets, very similar to the red light cameras. The same red light cameras that bring income into the towns that set them up even if they are not proven to reduce accidents. This is just another income source or as some would say a hidden tax.
Again, the Democratic controlled state legislature is raising taxes and increasing the size of government. Just remember this new tax Terry Link and his friends from Cook County have come up with when they ask for your vote in next years election.
