$1,000 from a red-light or speed camera company
Since July 28, 2023, companies that sell red-light, speed or rail-crossing camera systems to Illinois towns and counties, their PACs, and their owners and executives may not contribute to any candidate. These contributions came from such a company after the ban took effect.
What to check
- Whether the committee returned the money or gave it to charity (allowed within 30 days of the Board's notice).
- Whether the contributor is the camera company or an unrelated one with a similar name.
