Illinois State Sen. Emil Jones III has been hit with federal bribery charges alleging he took money from a red light camera company to kill legislation requiring traffic studies for automated camera systems.
A DuPage County judge's order on Monday allows Oakbrook Terrace to re-activate the red-light cameras at Route 83 and 22nd Street, at least temporarily.
Illinois State Rep. Deanne Mazzochi is speaking out against the use of red-light cameras in the state as the former mayor of Oakbrook Terrace is being federally charged for accepting thousands of dollars in secret payments in exchange for renewing a contract with a red-light camera company.
