UPDATE: The $165.00 fine from a photo radar ticket is now directed to the state's general fund~this is part of the governor's attempt to generate money in order to continue to grow government despite facing a $2.3 Billion Dollar deficit.
In response to a couple of snide comments in the Today's News Herald discussion forum let me make the following clarification:
Monies generated by photo radar goes to the General Fund of the Cities from the City Courts and to the County general fund from the JP Courts. The surcharges go to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Fund (that goes to about 14 different entities in the criminal justice system) and then to the Clean Elections Commission. None of it goes to the state except through the surcharges.
I am always amazed that folks like to snap back and forth with accusing remarks over issues that they know nothing about. I must state again that the online discussion forum of the Today's News Herald is a disgrace to the paper and a poor reflection on the citizens of Lake Havasu City. I truly wish TNH would shut the feature down.
