Traffic cameras face rising legal battles in cities nationwide
Motorists challenge speed camera programs through lawsuits and referendums across the United States. Ohio cities Cleveland and Maple Heights, St. Charles Missouri, and Sierra Vista Arizona voted to ban or limit cameras on November 4, part of 24 cities ending or curtailing such programs since 1991. Some 14 states host cameras in 138 communities near schools and streets, while others push back citing revenue and safety concerns.

Iowa Lottery shifts away from pull tab sales for veterans fund
The Iowa Lottery Board votes to seek legislative support to earmark 2.5 million of lottery profits for the Iowa Veterans Trust Fund instead of relying on pull tab games, as pull tab demand declines and scratch tickets rise. The fund assists veterans with training, tuition, dental and counseling needs, with sales figures showing pull tabs underperforming since 2008.
