Barbour signs law to ban red-light cameras in Mississippi

Jackson — Officials in several Mississippi cities are scrambling to re-evaluate contracts with private companies after Gov.

The new law says the two cities that already have the cameras, Jackson and Columbus, must take them down by Oct. 1. Other cities and counties are banned from starting to use them.
