One Chicago alderman is hoping the fourth time is the charm when it comes to changing Chicago's speed camera tickets and fines.
"Tickets have over tripled. Revenue has over tripled," Beale said. That's not about public safety. That's about revenue."
Under Beale's proposal, speeding 10 mph over the limit would result in a $35 fine, while speeding 11 mph over the limit would be a $100 ticket.He claims shenanigans, and points to last week's City Council Finance Committee hearing. Beale's proposal was up for a vote – until it wasn't. City Councill Finance Committee Chairman Ald. Scott Waguespack called Beale's claims of shenanigans"just bunk."
Beale and others fighting to raise the speed ticket limit said they will hold Waguespack to that remark.
