He's pro-litter & pro-beer
In this Oak Ridge paper we are told about how Hilly boy has no desire to fund programs for the prevention and collection of litter. He was basically alone on that matter and he made Northeast Tennessee look pretty stupid. What is interesting is how in Hilly boy's Telford meeting his constituents discussed their unhappiness with "garbage thrown out onto farmlands."
On another note, a local radio station has staged a stop in the Tri-Cites by a national conservative talk show host. These are the kind of things daddy Hill's station never does. By the way, why aren't they stoppingz in Hill of Beans Coffee shop? Probably because the place is never open. On two different days during Jonesborough Days the shop was completely closed.
I am still convinced that the shop is just Hilly boy’s attempt at convincing voters that he is a small business owner who understands the plights of other owners. In reality, Hilly boy’s facade is funded by a near billionaire and Hilly boy knows nothing about making it on his own.
In this story about Mrs. Hilly boy, the VOICE editor has a rather bizarre disclaimer given that the two photos used (there is another Hill photo on the cover)come directly off of Hilly boy's Web site. Seems like an endorsement to me. Also, the article strangely fails to mention anything about the Hill of Beans Coffee Shop.

I am posting an article from a local weekly newspaper that reported on Hilly Boy's recent "community meeting" at a Telford restaurant --- [I also am including my own "read between the lines" commentary between brackets. Note to salida: the earlier posting is resubmitted with "smart quotes", hopefully fixing the cross-platform "copy & paste" problem carried over from the original newspaper article. Please do not consider this corrected posting as spam --- ax the earlier post. Thx matey.]
Telford stop brings out locals, issues

State representative Matthew Hill sat by himself at a corner table in Sisters Restaurant in Telford Friday night, but he was rarely alone.
One by one, a steady stream of townspeople stepped up, introduced themselves if they were strangers - exchanged hugs if they were friends - and sat down to discuss their concerns.
[political-speak translation: One by one, steady streams of hushpuppies were crammed down the neck of State Representative Matthew Hill...]
It was Hill’s second of three "town meeting" for the week, but for the rural Washington County residents who attended this one, it may have been the best.
"I think it’s nice," said Delores Lewis, who lives near David Crockett High School and had come out to talk to Hill. "And I’m sorry that more people don’t take advantage of it."
After all, lawmakers can’t know your concerns, if you don’t tell them, she said.
{Really? You could always "do a Gregory" and slip Hill a sizeable campaign contribution...or just share your hushpuppies with Matthew.]
That was, in fact, the idea behind the gathering, according to Hill.
[political-speak translation: Well, that and the seemingly unending supply of hushpuppies...]
"That’s why I’m here," Hill told one constituent. "To find out what I need to be doing."
[political-speak translation: Sullivan County-native Matthew Hill is clueless...but Mr. Accessible really does like his hushpuppies.]
On Tuesday night, Hill had met with a small group of voters at the Historic Jonesborough Visitors Center, and on Saturday, he met more in Johnson City at his new office.
[political-speak translation: Alas...no hushpuppies were to be found for Rep. Hill at either the Johnson City or Jonesborough community meetings...]
But Friday night was reserved for Telford, where Hill sat ready to listen if anyone wanted to talk.
[political-speak translation: "Excuse me, Mr. Jonesborough Q. Public,...are you going to eat all those hushpuppies?" ]
It may have been the perfect atmosphere for this small town, according to Warren Browder, co-owner with wife Vickie of the downtown Telford restaurant that seats 45, but on most Friday nights can see as many as 75 diners come through its doors.
[Hill also promised not to speak with his mouth full of "the perfect finger food"..but really this is another glaring example of an empty political gesture from Hill, as there isn't anyone on this planet that can speak with his mouth full of hushpuppies.]
"There may be more people that talk to him tonight because it is informal," Browder said. They [They who --- the Hill Tribe?] had chosen the Friday night time because it was their latest – they stay open until 8 p.m. --- and one of their busiest, he added, when diners turn out for the weekly fish fry buffet.
"A lot of people in this area seem to support him," Browder added.
[Appearances can be deceiving....but the Sullivan County-native Hill is "seemingly" popular with the upscale Telford, yuppy-hushpuppy crowd.]
Topics discussed included everything from the cost of prescription medicines to garbage thrown out onto farmlands.
"People want their taxes kept low," Hill said. "And they’re concerned about TennCare."
[political-speak translation: Hill vows to keep taxes low on all the crap that ends tossed-out on your private property (and public lands) as litter...result: more litter for the 7th House District.]
Even when questioned by non-supporters, "we were able to find common ground," he said.
[political-speak translation: e.g. "Boy, those hushpuppies sure are good...especially with my Heinz ketchup"]
That common ground is vital, Hill said. "I represent 57,000 people. I didn’t get 57,000 votes."
[political-speak translation:"I didn’t get 57,000 hushpuppies."]
And that, Hill said, was one of the main reasons he was doing this -- not only to provide information to the people he was elected to serve, but to also hopefully make it easier to find points of agreement and reach good decisions.
I thought that Hill was there to listen...and to eat more hushpuppies with his constituients.]
"I’m trying to depoliticize this whole thing," he said.
[political-speak translation: Hill sincerely regrets politicizing hushpuppies.]

Another attempt to end the confusion:
Smart Quotes
When this option is on, BBEdit Lite (a HTML text editor for
Macintosh computers; I will in the future attempt to first "clean" any coyp & paste online news articles through a HTML text editor before posting to the "Hilly Boy's Deception" blog) automatically replaces straight quotes (" ') with typographer’s quotes (“ ” ‘ ’).
Tip To type a straight quote when this option is selected (or to type a typographer’s quote when the option is deselected), hold down the Control key as you type the " or ' key.
Note Smart quote marks should not be used in HTML documents (e.g. this blog), as they will not display correctly; you must use straight quotes, or entity codes, instead. We recommend leaving this option turned off if you edit HTML content or program code.
This info regarding smart tags vs. straight tags might be the beginnings of a FAQ page for your blog salida.
BTW: what is the column width of the submission form field?
sidebar: never use the pronoun "he" in a title when you could always plop in the formal noun "Hill"or other moniker for Rep. Hill....
