[Shotimes] (OT) Interesting court battle in TN

[van Oss]

Wow.  Apparently, Oak Ridge TN has just 28K residents (epodunk.com) but 
collects $6.3M per year on traffic tickets.  That's $225 per capita, but I 
bet those tickets aren't going to residents.  You can buy a lot of civic 
improvements for $6.3M.  No wonder the appeal was sponsored by NMA.

Maybe when federal money for nuke research wound down, that was when they 
knew it was time to adjust the speed limit.

Looks like Oak Ridge TN is a place to drive slowly. But, it may cost them on 
this one:
