City's cameras are 'a money thing'

Published July 9th, 2011 6:06 pm
 

The article “State Law Spurs Changes to Red Light Camera Fines” talks about the city’s loss of money as a result of a new state law and that Kingsport just went live with two new red light cameras in the Allandale community. In another paragraph, City Manager John Campbell says the city plans to determine the actual court costs associated with processing tickets and tack on that amount for those who do not pay within 30 days. And in another paragraph, to help offset the loss of revenue Campbell said Kingsport would be looking at staffing commitments in the police department and would step up its traditional traffic enforcement efforts.

Most of the article as per John Campbell dealt with how the city would make up the loss of revenue due to the new law. Then near the end came the kicker from Campbell: “We’ve always looked at this as traffic education and enforcement and not a money thing.” The Indians were right when they said man speaks with forked tongue.
