"Speed Cameras Net City $50M Less Than Expected"

...."Chicagoans are costing the city tens of millions of dollars -– through good behavior.
You heard that right: Good behavior is bad for the budget. Real bad, reports CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine.
Remember the old P.T. Barnum line about no one ever going broke by underestimating the intelligence of the American people? Well, Mayor Rahm Emanuel underestimated the intelligence of Chicago drivers, and the city paid for it big time......"

Oh don't worry. Chicago will find plenty of other ways to get their money from it's citizens.

Ever looked at a Chicago cell phone or cable bill? You'd be amazed (I'm not making this up) at how many additional 'fees' are tacked on to the original cost of the service. It's almost comical.

They'll rig the cameras and justify it because Chicago drivers are too stupid to know what's good for them. The good little sheep will march on.
