Aldercreature Brainstorm

Finally, a cause that we can get behind without reservation!

• Hispanic aldermen pushing for a boycott of all things Arizona to protest that state's controversial immigration law might hit a red light.

  Chicago's 189 red-light cameras were installed by Arizona-based Redflex Traffic Systems, which put in the cameras and road sensors. It also operates the software and mails out the $100 tickets along with photographic evidence of the alleged red-light running.

  In 2008, the Daley administration signed a five-year, $52 million contract with Redflex that cut the cost of each camera system from $100,000 to $24,500. It also included maintenance for cameras installed after Oct. 22, 2008.

  But the "proprietary nature of the technology" kept the city from including operations and maintenance for the 136 original camera systems. That's why Redflex has a separate five-year, $32 million contract just to maintain those 136.

We'd love to see these aldercreatures attempt to void a signed, sealed and delivered contract. And a boycott that would only cut Chicago money. Brilliant! And once again, the left-tards on the City Council demonstrate they haven't even read the 20-page Arizona law that only reflects United States law that has been in existence since World War II.

These people are morons.
