* Poll: City residents don’t want speed cameras: The survey logged opposition to speed cameras from 54 percent of those questioned, while 69 percent said money — not safety — was behind the mayor’s push to install automated equipment that will nab and ticket lead-footed drivers near parks and schools.

Just 22 percent of those surveyed agreed with Emanuel that the purpose of his speed camera program was to protect children.
