Put red light camera money to good use
Yesterday ten more red light cameras starting clicking away in Houston; for safety purposes, of course, not revenue purposes (wink, wink).
Interestingly, Charlotte, North Carolina, ended its red light camera program last week after a state appeals court said revenue generated from fines must be turned over to public schools. It would seem Charlotte city officials weren't that interested in safety if it meant losing ticket revenue while still having to pay the camera vendor.
Closer to home, MayorWhiteChiefHurtt could prove their dedication to safety by giving all Houston red light camera revenue to a very worthwhile cause: funding an adoption-only municipal animal care facility.
