If the Tennessee General Assembly is
meeting on March 18, Republican state representative Julia Hurley may not be
there in the morning.
She’s scheduled to appear in Roane
County General Sessions Court that day at 9 a.m. to answer a speeding ticket.
“I don’t have anything to say about
it” she said. “It’s a traffic ticket. What are you going to do? Pay it, I guess.
Hurley was cited by the Tennessee Highway Patrol on Saturday.
According to the citation, she was
driving a BMW 77 mph in a 50-mph zone on Hwy. 27.
“I dispute it,” Hurley said of the
charge that she was driving nearly 30 mph over the speed limit.
The state trooper also noted the
following in the narrative section on Hurley’s citation without further detail:
“five prior speeding, reckless driving, accident and failure to pay suspension.”
Hurley is in her first term as the
state representative for District 32, which includes Roane County and Lenoir
City.
Hurley, a Lenoir City resident,
defeated Democrat Dennis Ferguson last November.
As a member of the General Assembly,
Hurley can vote on matters that affect the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
She said she is debating whether to
contest the citation.
I haven’t decided what action I’m going to take on the ticket right at this moment,” she said. “That’s not due till March.”
