The Red Light Camera Issue Is Making Its Way To The State Capital. Tri Cities Governments Have Asked Northeast Tennessee Lawmakers To Oppose Legislation Hindering Development Of Red Light Traffic Enforcement Cameras. Elected Officials Representing Kingsport, Johnson City And Bristol Made The Request On Friday. Lawmakers Have Indicated That Doing Nother About The Cameras Is Probably Not An Option This Year. House Majority Leader Jason Mumpower Of Bristol Has Said At The Very Least A Moratorium May Be Put In Place On The Operation Of Any New Cameras Before The End Of This Session. He Feels They Shouldn’t Be Used By Smaller Municipalities For The Sole Purpose Of Operating Their General Functions Of Government.
