🗳️ Today’s poll

🏳️‍🌈 Bellevue’s senator votes against anti-LGBTQ bills

Tennessee’s Senate on Monday passed a bill that would ban gender-affirming treatments for minors despite criticism from Democrats, including Bellevue’s senator Heidi Campbell.

“We are bringing up issues that take away people’s freedoms and focusing on things that people then have to then fight for so they can just be who they are,” she argued, according to the AP. Supporters of the legislation say the bill protects children from permanent decisions with their bodies.

Another bill targeting the LGBTQ community would restrict drag shows. Campbell also voted against that bill, but it passed with the Republican supermajority.

Both appear likely to pass in Tennessee’s House.

Students in Nashville have organized a Saturday rally to protest multiple bills, including one that would remove civil rights leader John Lewis’s name from a street and replace it with former President Trump.

🚨 License plate readers rolling out soon

Bellevue could have license plate readers as soon as a few weeks from now. That’s when Metro Police plan to start rolling out cameras across Davidson County.

They’re part of a six-month pilot program before the Metro Council decides whether to make the cameras permanent.

Most of the plate readers will be stationary, but some will be in police cruisers or mobile. They’ll also be evenly distributed across the city, according to police, and only used to flag cars tied to crimes and missing people.

Bellevue councilwoman Gloria Hauser co-sponsored legislation allowing police to get the cameras. Councilman Dave Rosenberg warned “we know civil liberties are regularly violated by LPR use.”
