In the midst of this ongoing pandemic and government caused economic catastrophe that has forced millions of people to loose their businesses, become unemployed, spiral into debt, bankruptcy, and foreclosure, tragically leading to an unprecedented rise in depression and suicide…Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago is now seizing upon the opportunity to squeeze the public a bit harder and extort even more money from innocent people who are already suffering during the crisis by ramping up speeding violations to ticket and fine anyone driving 6MPH over the limit.
