Racing Into the New Year and Beyond

The New Year is less than a week old, and some Tennesseans are already looking to 2010.  With the announcement yesterday that former U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Dr. Bill Frist, will not run for Governor in 2010, the race is on for Governor and some are “off to the races.”

A Very Taxing Decision for Legislators

Rep. G.A. Hardaway (D-Memphis) is proposing a one-cent reduction in the state sales tax on food.  Most folks have no problem with any tax being lowered, but having had to vote on such things, I can tell you that such a straightforward proposal is not so simple for the politician.  There’s more to consider than meets the eye.
