Watered Down Ethics
Well, the ethics bill has been approved by the legislature. Some good changes, but not enough limits on campaign donations. The Gregory machine achieved its goal. As this article shows, lobbyists win.
And in regard to the governor’s state of the state address, I like this quote from Hilly boy:
Here’s a new money-making scheme for the Gregorys.
Lastly, I loved Rep. Stacy Campfield’s comments on the Tri-Cities’ breakfast flake radio show. He said that in Tennessee, individuals donate money to Republicans and PACs donate money to Democrats. Luckily, he got called out on it by a listener. It was just an insane comment considering how much Gregory money has been distributed through PACs to Republicans, especially those from our area.
