Speed camera bill OK'd

According to today's Chicago Tribune:
Cameras set up to catch speeders near Chicago parks and schools could be in operation by July 1 after Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation pushed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel.  The cameras could monitor zones covering nearly half of Chicago and figure to significantly boost the number of fines handed out.  The money - fines will be up to $100 - will go toward school safety and road and bridge repairs.
If this is all about children's safety, I don't understand why Rahm refuses to release all the records behind the decision.  Sounds shady to me.  Is this how you plan on bringing change to Chicago government Rahm?  Sounds like more of the same to me.

Emanuel withholds most records detailing push for speed cameras
