Drive Slowly Through Arizona, And Affect The State Budget

Apparently Arizona is banking on speedy drivers to fill the state coffers. The state anticipates $120 million in speeding ticket revenue to come in via a new camera-based speeding ticket system.

OK, so it's a fraction of the budget, indeed. But if you're facing a $1.2 billion shortfall, shouldn't you be focusing on ways to impact that deficit in more significant ways?

Wait, isn't Dr. Weil from Arizona? Can't he sponsor some national "come to Arizona and I'll make you healthy and let you touch my beard" event to raise some cash?
