Chicago Mayoral Candidates Clash Over Speed Cameras, Education, and Public Safety
TL;DR
Chicago mayoral candidates Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas have pledged to "phase out" city-operated speed cameras that fine speeding drivers. The two candidates also attacked each other's management and budgeting experience during a televised debate. Speed camera fines have been a controversial subject for years in Chicago, with some critics pointing to research showing the cameras disproportionately target Black and Latino Chicagoans. The candidates will meet again for a WBEZ/Sun-Times forum on Thursday.
