More than 280 faith leaders and organizations from across Tennessee have signed a letter asking Gov. Bill Lee to veto a bill that would make it a Class E felony to camp on public lands punishable by up to six years in prison, a $3,000 fine, and the loss of voting rights. Rick Musacchio, executive director of the Tennessee Catholic Conference, formerly known as the Tennessee Catholic Public Policy Commission, speaks to a television reporter about the bill and its impact on those experiencing homelessness.
