When pols say it's not about the money.... it usually is
KUHF-88.7'S LAURIE JOHNSON reports that City Council this week will continue efforts to get Harris County to help enforce Mayor White's red-light-camera revenue stream. There's just one tiny problem: Harris County officials are balking:
"The downside is becoming a tool of the city for their incredible revenue grab," Precinct 3 Commissioner Steve Radack said. "It's come to look like it's more of a revenue situation than trying to change people's behavior" (James Pinkerton, Houston Chronicle).
Moreso even than Mayor White, Harris County Commissioners oversee their own little fiefdoms and probably aren't all that interested in helping Houston collect revenue. Unless the pot is sweetened for them of course.
