Councilman Rodriguez wants 200 more red light cameras!
Houston's elected officials continue finding ways to make the city more inviting.
I wonder if Councilman Rodriguez has considered checking out the engineering at all 200 intersections. Well, actually, I don't wonder at all, because he admits it's about generating revenue:
According to the amendment, Rodriguez wants to use the extra revenue for police "public safety programs including, but not limited to the recruitment of new officers to ensure safer neighborhoods."
If it were about safety (which it never really is -- wink, wink), all engineering issues would be addressed at proposed intersections, and yellow-light times would be increased. But those actions don't generate revenue.
