More Speeding Tickets Please!!

Many of you may have dissenting opinions on this matter, but I think it's absurd. Recently it was announced that local governments will be increasing the number of traffic violation tickets they issue. Is it to assure that their citizens are safer? or maybe in preparation of some major event?? Nope, it's because they are running low on money.

Now if anyone knows how far from frugal governments are when it comes to money you will understand my frustration with this. Some may argue that it's better off in order to keep more people safe on the roads, and I would tend to agree, but does intent mean nothing here. If that was the intent it would have been done earlier when times were good. Not now when most people are closer to filing for bankruptcy than being able to afford a simple ticket.

This feels as though the government when squeezed turns on it's people in a heartbeat. I can guarantee there plenty of over inflated salaries, remnants of a brighter economic climate, that could use some trimming down before this type of an action ever becomes an option.

That might just be how I feel. Let me know what you think...
