Despite scandal, Emanuel says red-light cameras here to stay

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Chicago’s widely-despised red-light camera program is here to stay, even though it was built on a $2 million bribery scandal that allegedly paid a former city bureaucrat for every additional intersection.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel made that perfectly clear Monday, even as federal prosecutors maintained during closing arguments that former Chicago Department of Transportation official John Bills and Arizona-based Redflex Traffic Systems “deserve world championship rings for how they played the game of bribery.”
