No Parents for You! Kids are better off in state custody than with unmarried parents, says State Sen. Paul Stanley (R-Memphis) and State Rep. John Deberry (D-Memphis). They want to ban adoption to unhitched couples, straight or gay. Shame on Phil Bredesen and anyone who doesn’t publicly condemn this bill. (h/t ACK)
Blame Bush: With the bad economy mutilating the state’s tax revenues, Governor Bredesen may slash or kill raises to state employees.
Blame Bush, pt. 2: With the entire economy in distress, maybe hospital care for the poor and uninsured isn’t the best place for Metro to save money.
Loss Leaders: The Nashville Post takes a pessimistic view of Democratic retirements in the State Legislature.
Sweet Re-Lease: What happens if the Metro Council doesn’t approve the Predators new lease, Metro Councilmember Megan Barry asks. My guess is, hell freezes over. But it’s good they’re asking the question.
About Time: That scary, evil, stupid bill to protect negligent nursing homes is all but dead for the year.
Blow Up Your TV: Governor Bredesen has endorsed the latest AT&T vs. Cable compromise plan.
Crappy Idea: A prime example of why it’s stupid to change the law for one person.
Tennessee Has a Secretary of State? Should the voters pick the State Secretary of State and Lt. Governor? The Republican-led State Senate says yes. The Democratic-led State House looks like it only wants the Lt. Governor on the ballot.
Open Sesame! Bravo to Gov. Bredesen for calling on the State Legislature to hold meetings out in the open on picking new judges. Shame on the State House for shooting him down.
