Ferguson's city council is [ voting to limit court fine income to 15% of the city revenue ]( http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/09/ferguson-to-cap-court-fine-revenue ) , instead of 21% as now. What directly oppresses the poor citizens of Ferguson is the rules that the system follows, such as fining people for being unable to pay fines. Cutting out a little over 1/4 of the fines is insufficient to make a qualitative difference. Some of the other changes might matter more.
