Tuesday: Illinois Senate Subcommittee on

Red Light Cameras to Hear Public Testimony
Chicago Motorists Plan “Road Trip” to Testify
UPDATE: NEW PRESSER LOCATIONS & MUSTER POINTS IN THIS RELEASE

Chicago, IL, February 26, 2010 – Public hearings will be held next Tuesday evening, March 2nd, to
consider banning red light cameras statewide, except at railroad crossings. The hearings will be
Tuesday, at 6:01 p.m., in the State Capitol’s room 400.

“The hearings will give citizens the opportunity testify, sharing with senators on the Subcommittee on
Red Light Cameras just how red light camera tickets are impacting their families’ finances, and
reducing intersection safety due to shorter yellows,” said Scott Tucker, GOP candidate for state
representative in Chicago’s north-side 11 th District.

“In additions to less safety, and more money out of your pocket, these cameras are impacting small
businesses in the community, such as restaurants for instance. These small businesses are laying-off
and closing-down, because folks have less money to spend in the community,” said Tucker.

“We need citizens to join us Tuesday, on our Constituent Road Trip to Springfield, to testify in Senate
Subcommittee against these ATMs, Automatic Ticket Machines. Tuesday will include 3 press
conferences, and constituent testimony in the Subcommittee,” Tucker said.

“If you’re fed-up with red light cameras in Illinois, this is your chance to get them banned for good. SB
2466 is the bill I’m backing, and that we ’ll be testifying in support of it,” said Tucker.
