PHOENIX – A House panel has voted to shut down the state’s new photo radar system, foregoing the money it would bring in – and opening the door to having taxpayers pay the contractor millions of dollars in damages.
HB 2170 repeals a provision of the budget bill adopted last year, which directed the state Department of Public Safety to contract with a firm to set up a statewide system of cameras to enforce speed and other traffic laws. The 5-3 party line vote Thursday in the Republican-dominated Transportation and Infrastructure Committee sends the measure to the House floor.
