That's right, our sleezy legislators passed it last night during the last session of the lame duck. Cameras will be installed on traffic lights and you will be mailed tickets if caught in an intersection when the light is red. This has failed in a few other states and even deemed unconstitutional in one, but our greedy legislators couldn't pass up on a cash cow like this. This is nothing to do about safety, and everyting to do about fundraising.

Speaking of fundraising, King Jon Corslime gives his dismal state of the state address today in which he will reveal his super-secret asset monetization plan. I feel sorry for those of you that commute on toll roads, because according to several news outlets, you can expect your tolls to go up an equivelent of 800% over the next few years.

Oh yeah, they also gave double-digit raises (17%) to the supreme court justices and staff...during a time when the state is broke and billions in debt. By comparison, the lowest paid state workers received 4% raises this year. What a joke.
