The whole reason why retired Chicago firefighters & police officers are going to lose their health insurance is due to the corruption of the Daley administration.
Yet Daley still gets free Chicago police body guard services and limo service.
City Hall cannot back up claims that its controversial red-light camera program is designed to make intersections safer, according to a watchdog's report released Tuesday.
Inspector General Joseph Ferguson said the city cannot provide documents to prove that the cameras went up at intersections with the most side-impact crashes. He also questioned why cameras remain at intersections with no recent history of such crashes, which the $100 ticket-issuing "cops-in-a-box" are designed to prevent.
"We found a lack of basic record keeping and an alarming lack of analysis for an ongoing program that costs tens of millions of dollars a year and generates tens of millions more in revenue," Ferguson wrote in a letter addressed to Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other city officials.
The conclusions are the result of an audit of the red light camera program, which was launched under former Mayor Richard Daley in 2003 and now makes more than $70 million a year for the city.
