Municipalities hurting for money
A local city council just raised the fine for speeding in a school zone (20 mph limit) from $150 to $500. Yes, $500. Plus, the school gets to tack $50 onto the ticket.What more is to come?

$500 for a speeding ticket is outrageous. I know a dancer who has received an OVI (operating vechicle under influence - similar to a DUI) and it was a $500 ticket.
Also it is unlikely they will legalize pot and tax it...the DEA would get their funding dried up if they could not make easy pot busts.
