CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago officials voted Wednesday to ban drivers from using hand-held cell phones starting this summer and set fines of $50 and up for violators.
The City Council approved the ordinance without debating it, angering some aldermen who worried about suburban residents and visitors being targeted as they cross the city line from jurisdictions that don't have bans.
But Mayor Richard Daley said the measure was about safety and called it "just plain common sense."
