How the Kubosh Brothers Put the Kibosh on Houston’s Red Light Cameras

HOW THE KUBOSH BROTHERS PUT THE KIBOSH ON HOUSTON’S RED LIGHT CAMERAS Mandy Oaklander doesn’t include too many interviews with ardent red-light camera supporters in her cover story, but she does provide an engaging, from-the-top account of how the city got to its current situation: cameras turned off, lawsuits a-brewing. Tasty excerpt: “‘I agree with the Mayor,’ Feldman told city council in his low, measured voice. ‘We are in a Catch-22. No matter what we do, there is somebody out there who is going to sue us.’ Feldman cracked a rare, thin-lipped smile. ‘That’s why I became city attorney.'” [Houston Press] Photo: West U Examiner

I don’t understand Feldman’s quip “that’s why I became city attorney” in the context of his statement.

@ Mel, because as city attorney he’ll always have a job.

Ah. Well, he had a well paying job before he was city attorney.
