Mayor Myron was cited on April 17, 2010 for driving 23 miles per hour over the legal speed limit (53 in a 30) on Princeton Road. The verbal exchange between the officer and mayor was caught on video and showed the mayor as acting disrespectfully by getting out of the vehicle and approaching the officer. The mayor later described the officer as "huffy," and Officer Jason Lewis said the mayor came off as "arrogant." Before the video was released, Mayor Myron told the ''Johnson City Press'' that she had "never thrown the fact that () the mayor in anyone's face," but the video showed that she asked for the name of the officer's supervisor on duty and made a comment that she might miss a budget meeting if she had to attend court or traffic school. The mayor, who was not carrying proof of insurance (a punishable offense in the State of Tennessee), said she had to pay the $160 fine because it wouldn't look good as mayor if she didn't.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=TriCities.com ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Johnson City Press )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jane Myron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
