Bid To Raise Threshold For Speed Camera Tickets Stalls, As Lightfoot And Allies Push Off Final Vote For Now
Seven aldermen moved to "defer and publish" the ordinance, pushing off a final vote until the next City Council meeting in July.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Facing a likely defeat in her bid to stop the City Council from raising the threshold for issuing speed camera tickets in Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot and her allies delayed a final vote on the proposal for now.
A day after the Finance Committee voted 16 to 15 to raise threshold for speed camera tickets from 6 mph over the limit to 10 mph over the limit, the City Council had been expected to cast a final vote on Wednesday.
