High Point Enterprise reports:

The Guilford County Board of Education voted unani­mously Tuesday night to direct its attorney, Jill Wilson, to in­struct the city of High Point to promptly pay the total amount of the settlement. Wilson said the city is “fast approaching” its deadline in meeting the terms of the law­suit. In late June, the N.C. Su­preme Court denied the city’s request to review a lower court’s ruling that the school system receive 90 percent of fines paid by motorists caught running red lights by cameras at 10 city intersections between 2001 and March 2005.

I can’t help but mention the fact that the Rhino refers to Wilson as the board’s “paid-by-the-hour attorney.” You have to wonder what the bill for this mess is. When are politicos going to realize that bending over backwards to fund the school system with schemes like this just isn’t worth the effort?
