Speeding Californians to balance state budget

Speeding CA drivers could soon get saddled with a minimum fine of $225—even if they aren't caught by a cop. Buried in Gov. Schwarzenegger's budget presentation Friday is a line detailing his desire to allow cities and counties to install speed sensors in red-light cameras. Critics are hurling "police state" accusations, but the policy could net just under $340 million for cash-strapped California by June of next year.

 

Guests:

NOT CONFIRMED:

Councilman Dennis Zine, Councilman for District 3; Zine is a former traffic cop

 

TBA, representative from the Auto Club of Southern California

Do you need to know your doctor?

Telemedicine allows doctors and specialists to consult, monitor patients and watch other doctors work from thousands of miles away. So what is stopping it from being utilized? Doctors. According to a recent study by researchers at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston many doctors feel that telemedicine adversely effects their relationships with their patients. But some say they just don’t want to feel that other doctors are constantly looking over their shoulders. With many communities lacking doctors and even some of the nation’s best hospitals in need of specialists - should hesitant doctors swallow their pride with a spoonful of sugar to help the telemedicine go down?

Karen S. Rheuban M.D., Professor of Pediatrics and Senior Associate Dean for CME and External Affairs Medical Director, Office of Telemedicine University of Virginia Health System
