What’s your problem with nabbing red-light runners, Senator?

If the city of Rockford wants to place cameras on overhead traffic lights to catch red-light runners, why is that the concern of state Sen. Dave Syverson?

Syverson railed against Rockford’s attempt to get him to pass a state law to allow the city to place the cameras on traffic lights. He said it’s just a scheme to collect money.

It’s not, but what if it were? Does Syverson have a problem with nabbing and fining drivers who run red lights?
