"By the time 2016 [rolls around], we'll have more cameras than Washington, D.C. ...

"By 2016, I'll make you a bet. We'll have [cameras on] almost every block."
The mayor talked about the steady march toward a Big Brother city during a free-wheeling exchange with the Sun-Times editorial board after unveiling his proposed 2007 budget.
