This has "revenue stream" written all over it

The Chron's Jennifer Radcliffe notes that a certain mayor who is fond of revenue streams is interested in West U.'s possible school zone cell phone ban:

Houston-area officials are watching West University Place as elected officials there consider banning cell phones in the school zone near the community's lone elementary campus.

The move would put the affluent suburb on the map as the first Houston-area municipality to take a stand against drivers talking on their phones as children travel to and from school. The community is following in the footsteps of Dallas and several North Texas suburbs that have recently approved bans.

"We'll be watching with interest to see what happens," said Linda Clarke, director of education and special projects for Houston Mayor Bill White. "We'll certainly be looking and wanting to know more about it."

I'll bet! The revenue possibilities are exciting.
