Another article from Newsday a week or so ago goes into detail about why Nassau County’s batch of 50 new cameras for 2011 has been delayed. Note that I’ve spotted a new camera in Nassau this year myself, and several of my visitors have added new cameras that I didn’t previously have on the list, which makes me wonder if Nassau started installing them early.
Anyway, according to the article, when Nassau Executive Edward Mangano proposed the new cameras, he tied the camera revenue to the County’s youth programs. I’ve always thought it was obvious that the cameras there to generate revenue regardless of whether they make the intersection more safe, but this is the first time I’ve seen where an official made the mistake of proposing new cameras specifically to fund other projects. They need to at least pretend that safety is the main reason, while revenue generation is just a happy side effect.
The article has lots more info so take a look!
