I'm not going to defend our regressive tax system, our low-bar educational results when compared with most other states, etc. The sad fact is we have, to borrow from Walt Kelly's Pogo, met the enemy and he is us. With each sales tax collection that's fallen behind projections, he's had to cut services, not add or strengthen them. Bredesen has given Tennesseans what they want and that is of course why he won every county in the state when he was reelected against token opposition. I wish it was different, but my complaint isn't with Bredesen, it's with my fellow Tennesseans. Government doesn't solve every problem, but we've gone too far the other way.
Woods -
You are not worthy to type Lydia Lenker's or Michael Drescher's name. It's not hard to believe that you don't know what Drescher does - since he would have to actually do it at Brandons for you to see it since you've never actually been to the Capitol. And complaining about Lydia not calling you back sounds like a cover story for your editor when you haven't called her in the first place.
Get over yourself clown.
