Chicago mayor's official SUVs rack up unpaid traffic tickets: report
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s official SUVs have been repeatedly caught running red lights and speeding, racking up multiple traffic tickets in the process — despite the mayor’s staunch support for tougher speed camera rules, according to a bombshell new report.
These revelations come as Lightfoot has been pushing for stricter red light camera rules in Chicago under the banner of public safety. Lightfoot’s office added that individual members of the security detail are responsible for paying the tickets issued while they are driving. Lightfoot, who took office in 2019, has been pushing to lower the so-called “buffer zone” threshold that speed cameras allow before issuing a citation from 10 mph down to 6 mph.
The City Council voted last week to reject a measure that would have increased the speed threshold, which Lightfoot had opposed.
