As a local business owner, paying county property taxes, city property taxes, county business taxes, city business taxes, franchise and excise taxes, garbage taxes, wheel taxes, gas taxes, telephone taxes, cable taxes, and sales taxes, I respectfully have a few questions before we raise taxes further. I’ve been told the momentum to build the $39 million dollar school is the rock building security, high maintenance costs of the older school structures, and overcrowding.

Human trafficking: Public Chapter 1089 - To crack down on criminals who traffic children, a new law will expand the criteria for what qualifies as Class A felony offense of trafficking for a commercial sex act. Under the new law, a trafficker will be charged with a Class A felony if the victim is under the age of 18.

It also creates a Class A felony offense of aggravated trafficking for a commercial sex act, and requires those convicted to serve 100% o...

I’m proud to have supported significant tax cuts for Tennesseans this year, two of which will soon begin.

Both of these tax cuts will provide financial relief to Tennesseans during this challenging time of rising inflation and food costs. While discretionary expenses such as vacations can be reduced or avoided duri...

Linda Stapleton and her parrot Lola Marie go practically everywhere together... Well, everywhere that will allow feathered friends anyway. Lola Marie is an Amazon Yellow Nape Parrot, and as the silver bracelet around her ankle indicates, she was one of the very first parrots to be brought over to the United States from the Amazon. When Stapleton found the bright-eyed bird, Lola Marie was already around 25 years old. Yellow Napes can live up to 120 years old in the wild, but because Lola has...
