STOP THE SECRETS
"It is blatant hypocrisy for lawmakers who claim to act on the public's
behalf to keep their constituents clueless about their debate and vote on
legislation. It says lawmakers don't listen and don't care. That much
they cannot hide."
Excerpt from March 18 Lead Editorial from Tennessean
"Last year, House and Senate members of a conference committee met on the top floor of the Tennessee Tower across the street from Legislative Plaza to try to hammer out a budget agreement. Reporters could not get past the ground floor entrance because of state security guards."
Excerpt from Jan 14 article in Tennessean by DUREN CHEEK and BONNA de la CRUZ
