Red Light Cameras: It's All About The Money
Feb 15, 2008 10:09 AM Filed in: New Mexico | Albuquerque
I can't help be be amused that the Mayor of Albuquerque has suspended the red light camera program over money. According to him, the purpose of the program was not to make money, but was to increase safety at risky intersections. Its questionable if the data supports this, but the program did make money, like $10 million. Oops, that extra $10 million wasn't supposed to happen. Or was it?
Now the state wants a cut of it, or I guess all of it, so goodbye cash cow. I'm sure all interested parties will find a way so everyone can profit. except the citizens.
