Enforce litter laws to clean up highway
It’s nice to see that Tennessee has started an anti-litter campaign. The first area they can start with is the section of Interstate 75 between exits 5 and 11. This area says “Welcome to Trash City” like no other that I have seen.
How about enforcing the fines for littering that already are in place? When was the last time someone was actually issued a ticket for littering along this area? Issue tickets and make them pay something more than a paltry sum.
I appreciate the good work done on the weekends by people doing community service and others but by Monday, the trash starts building up again. The law requiring loads on trucks to be covered (including pickups) also needs to be enforced. Come on – we are better than this!
