Wilmington –  Yesterday, the city of Wilmington announced its suspension of camera use to ticket drivers for right-turns-on-red-lights and would be refunding fines collected since July 1, 2016. Cathy Rossi, Vice President of Public & Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic, issued the following statement in response:

“The announcement today by Wilmington Mayor Michael Purzycki demonstrates remarkable leadership, goodwill to motorists and a clear commitment to responsible government.
