Nassau County has proposed using speeding cameras to gain revenue for new union contracts.  If the three-year wage freeze for unions is lifted, it will cost Nassau County $120 million over the course of four years.  The speeding cameras are projected to rains $57.7 million if installed in school zones. 

The Nassau office analyzed the use of speed cameras in Baltimore, Chicago and Washington, D.C. to estimate potential revenue gain.  County Comptroller George Maragos reported that the speeding camera revenue would cut the contract costs to $62.6 million through 2017.  However, the State Legislature has yet to approve the use of these cameras.  If approved, legislation would divert some of this camera revenue to villages.
