Houston Prop 3 Funding - It's Just a Business Expense

Just who would spend $1.7M to keep red light cameras around you ask? Why the company that makes all the profits of course. Further proof that red light cameras are about money, not safety, and that the free option of making yellow lights longer is the smarter choice for making intersections safer. The final result was only 54% against - I guess they should have spent a cool $2 million instead...

I thought it was interesting enough to share, especially if you read the original article and where the PAC money came from.

$1.7M is nothing compared to the $160M that Meg Whitman spent to lose the election for California governor.
