Tempting Corruption? No not in Arizona :)
by vcheng on Tue Mar 10 05:52:14 PDT 2009
So may be THIS is why the Arizona politician's love photo radar. Now I do not care too much about what other may think in this forum, but this has to raise concerns of tempting corruption in at least my mind. http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/27/2712.asp Photo Tickets Pad Campaign Coffers of Arizona Politicians Arizona politicians have collected $36,265,795 in campaign cash from a tax on speeding tickets since 1999. A tax levied on speeding tickets funds the re-election efforts of two-thirds of Arizona's politicians and provides lawmakers with a personal financial incentive to protect controversial photo enforcement programs. In 1999, a ten percent surcharge was imposed on all traffic tickets to create the "Citizens Clean Election Fund." The fund allows politicians to avoid tedious fundraising efforts. After raising just $5 each from 220 people in a district, candidates for public office qualify for public financing money to match private expenditures. In effect, these lawmakers collect $16.50 for their campaigns each time a photo radar ticket is issued on an Arizona freeway. This adds up to big money. In 2008, traffic tickets generated $10,095,771 in revenue for the clean elections fund. Out of this amount, $7,710,739 million was disbursed to lawmakers and candidates during the primary and general elections -- an average of $72,063 each. In just the past four months, the new freeway speed camera program has already added another $3.3 million to the total amount collected for lawmakers. Over the past four election cycles, Arizona politicians collected a total of $36,265,795 in campaign cash from the tax on speeding tickets. Opponents of the state photo ticketing program are crying foul. "Photo radar pays for politicians to get elected," Shawn Dow, a volunteer for the activist group CameraFraud.com, told TheNewspaper. "Voters want the cameras gone but the politicians want them to stay since it pays for their election. This is the reason that the people believe our government is corrupt." Dow raised the election funding issue before the state House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee last Thursday while testifying against House Bill 2170. This legislation is portrayed as a repeal of former Governor Janet Napolitano's freeway photo program, but the text of the proposal actually allows freeway photo ticketing to continue against truckers and other holders of commercial vehicle licenses. Some of the biggest supporters of photo radar are recipients of significant ticket funding. "Photo-radar tickets aren't issued," state Senator Rebecca Rios (D-Apache Junction) told the Arizona Republic in February 2008. "They're earned." Rios herself earned $35,634 in campaign funds from speeding tickets last year. Other legislators appear less supportive of photo radar by introducing legislation that make minor modifications to the way programs are run. State Representative John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills), for example, introduced House Bill 2722 last year which would have mandated that the profits from any local jurisdiction's use of a speed camera on a state highway be directed into the Arizona Highway Patrol Fund so that it could be used to fund additional traffic ticketing details. Kavanagh has taken $156,654 in campaign funding from speeding tickets. The clean elections fund does have other sources of revenue besides traffic tickets. A $5 check-off on income tax forms generated about $6 million which was spent on "voter education" efforts directed by the Citizens Clean Elections Commission. Money left over in the fund from the off-years without elections goes into the general fund.

Read in a recent post that you have a GXP. How do you like it? My wife got a 2004 GTP (with the supercharged 6) and she really likes it. Did you test drive the GTP vs GXP? Richard Moore in AZ
Spark plugs, Cabin filter
by tateos on Mon Jun 13 07:34:05 PDT 2005
I recently asked two questions - one about the 2-3 shift and 1 about spark plugs on the V-6 (2005). Thanks for your responses about the trans. Anybody have any ideas on my second question? "Also, how do you check/replace the spark plugs on the V-6. It looks like the intake manifold covers them. " Another Q - do we have a cabin filter (2005 V-6)? Where is it/how do we change it? Thanks.

05 LS 6 - Tranny and Spark Plug Questions
by tateos on Sat May 28 12:35:02 PDT 2005
I just bought the car - about 1,200 miles on it. The tranny seems make some sloppy shifts, especially the 2-3 shift. It's like the transmission starts to shift, pauses for a second, and then finally goes into th next gear. Does anyone know if this is "normal". I'm thinking that maybe they need to flash an update into the computer that controls the tranny or something? Also, how do you check/replace the spark plugs on the V-6. It looks like the intake manifold covers them. Thanks. Richard in Phoenix

I don't know if you ever got help for this so sorry for just now sending this info. I, myself, just recently had this problem and when I went to the dealership, they wanted to charge me at least $170 to replace some "seals". I don't think that was necessary and I didn't want to waste $170 so I searched this site and saw responses from others like jam407, markdisalvo, and grnchrysler200. As the others said, you have to "unplug" the dirt that gets stuck and keeps water from draining. The trick is not only to find the plugged spots, but to know what they look like. They are not actual plugs that you remove. Once I finally found them last night and used a paper clip to clean them as jam407 said, water came out like a fountain. The plugged holes are located along the length of the bottom of the car. When I got a mirror and looked at them, the plugged spots reminded me of how the pen holder in your center console looks. It is a number of hill-like spots. You insert a paper clip inside (even though it may not look like there is a hole) and if you have any water in there, it will come out. Another way that I identified the spots was that they look like mini flared spots where I thought I had just hit the bottom of the car and caused the two metal plates to slightly separate and bend.
