Sneed exclusive: Pat Quinn to OK speed cameras near parks, schools
Gov. Pat Quinn plans to sign a bill that gives the city the green light to install speed enforcement cameras all over Chicago.

Supporters say the cameras will make the streets safer, but critics say it's a way for the city to generate sorely needed cash.
