news conference

75,000 peeps homeless in our southern neighbor's state for at least some part of the year.

President Bush handed the Democrats their lunch yesterday by removing the executive-branch moratorium on offshore drilling. The result?

OK, it should be obvious to everyone at this point that this school rezoning plan is a public-policy disaster.

For all the lip service paid to "protecting the children," and "no child left behind," we don't spend much time, effort or money on or about kids who are homeless. I realize they are typically difficult to find but that should never serve as the excuse as to why we aren't able to provide more and better resources to assist them.

Bredesen, Sasser host Democratic Unity Meeting and News Conference

NASHVILLE- Governor Phil Bredesen and Tennessee Democratic Party Chairman Gray Sasser will host a breakfast meeting and news conference Wednesday to ask supporters of presidential candidates Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama to unify behind a single candidate on the heels of the final U.S.

It looks like the tax increases planned by Governor Bredesen and Revenue Commissioner Reagan Farr may be in trouble. The bill has stalled.  And it appears it will remain in that state–a legislative coma, if you will.
