Wamp, Roe and Davis are against letting gays serve openly in the military. ... Haslam is unleashing TV ads in Wamp's backyard this week ... Wamp calls it a sign of desperation. ... Wamp wins Jackson straw poll. ... Only a month after racing to the top, critics say Tennessee is going soft on education reform. ... Gaile Owens asks the state Supreme Court to commute her death sentence. .. Loud growls disturb neighbors of East Tennessee's tiger sanctuary. Lawmakers file a bill. More weird bills here and here. Should Mary Mancini lose her press pass at the Capitol? ... Why the wine bill may chill for yet another session. ... Vaughn tops Shipley in campaign cash. ... Herenton kicks off congressional campaign: "I'm back." ... Dwight Lewis slams Ramsey for pandering to birthers: "Heaven help Tennessee's Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey." ... The Chattanooga Times comments on "the shameful" TennCare cuts:
Mr. Bredesen's Medicaid cuts should not stand. But the Legislature, controlled by Republicans who had rather impose harsh emotional and physical costs on citizens than raise taxes modestly, is almost certain to go along. More people will suffer deeply, and needlessly, for these misguided policies.

Yeah -- I'm pretty skeptical of what Commissioner Webb is doing (or, rather, *not* doing) with the "Achievement School District" stuff -- it looks like he's backing off on takeovers all over the state. That includes Memphis as well as Nashville.
More worrisome for me is the message that sends to the RTTT judges. If we're backing off what is a *huge* part of our proposal (and a giant part of the impetus for RTTT (i.e., turning around failing schools)), then I think that sends a message of false promise to the judges. Bad news, folks, especially given the strength of other states' applications...
