“More roadside speed cameras could be Washington D.C.’s future as Mayor Vincent Gray’s new budget calls for the city to collect an additional $50 million in speeding fines over the coming year. One council member called it ‘gotcha’ government. Gray said his budget is balanced in part by that steep rise in speed camera fines from more speed cameras on different streets at different times. Motorists too often avoid permanent cameras, said the mayor’s budget director. At-large Council member David Catania, an independent candidate for mayor, suggested the city ought to better warn motorists. Despite that concern, city police are moving ahead, according to the mayor’s office.”
