State Rep. Gerald McCormick NASHVILLE -- State House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick says he made a mistake in 2012 by sponsoring a bill that abolished most legislative oversight panels, including the General s Assembly s Corrections Oversight Committee.With concerns now erupting over Tennessee prison overtime policy changes and the impact on staffing and safety, McCormick said the controversy underscores the need to restore some oversight panels, including the corrections oversight. I think we do need to reinstitute some of the oversight commi adidas samba og ttees, including corrections, said the Chattanooga Republican. It was a mistake for me to carry that bill in the first place. Sh yeezy ould never have done it. State Rep. Gerald McCormick McCormick said his views began shifting last legislative session when he threw his support behind an ultimately unsuccessful effort seeking to restore two oversight panels, although neither one involved corrections.It failed to gain traction in the Senate. The Legislature has an oversight responsibility and to have the oversight committee in place and meeting on a regular basis rather than waiting until something goes wrong air max 96 and then reacting to a situation and holding hearings, McCormick said.Last week, House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville, and Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey, R-Blountville, announced their chambers respective State and Local Government Committees, both standing Pckx Police pursuits cost lives and taxpayers money: Law enforcement agencies weigh policies

Ellis Thornhill A Chattanooga man is accused of killing 36-year-old Lucius Moss in 2013 and then attempting to burn down a duplex with Moss body inside.Ellis Thornhill, 38, was booked Friday on charges of first-degree murder, especially aggravated kidnapping, aggravated arson, aggravated assault and abuse of a corpse. adidas samba Ellis Thornhill After Chattanooga police found Moss body inside a burned brick duplex at 1802 Wilcox Blvd. on Feb. 7, 2013, neighbors said the man had been killed after a nike dunk n argument.Hamilton County Medical Examiner James Metcalfe found that Moss was stabbed 17 times and suffered blunt-force trauma from an additional six blows.Chattanooga firefighters found Moss dead on the kitchen floor after a passerby noticed flames and called for help.

DALTON, Ga. -- A pile of maps and paperwork covers the rectangular table in Dalton Fire Chief Bruce Satterfield s conference room.It s part of a study to decide whether it s a good idea to consolidate the Dalton and Whitfield County fire departments.

Dalton and Whitfield County official stanley deutschland s have agreed to split the $10,000 cost to hire Atlanta consulting firm Mizzelle, Hodges and Associates to conduct the study.The consultants will look at a wide range of criteria, from training techniques and staffing to checking the pumps and hoses, Chief Satterfield said.After three months, the firm is expected to give an assessment of both departments.

Khristy Wilkinson Khristy Wilkinson NASHVILLE - Democrat Khristy Wilkinson says she s puzzled about the real message of a political mailer sent to state Senate District 10 yeezy voters by incumbent Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga, in which he contrasts his Tennessee values with what he calls her Detroit values. The Hamilton County Black Caucus has blasted the mailer as using racially coded messages, a charge Gardenhire rejected this adidas samba adidas week.Gardenhire said he based the mailer on endorsements made by the liberal Times editorial page of the Times Free Press, which also has a conservative editorial page.In its October endorsement, the editorial notes, among other things, that Wilkinson describes herself as a Bernie [Sanders] Democrat who supports Hillary Clinton, and she doesn t understand why Chattanooga and Highland Park don t feel as inclusive as the Detroit neighborhood where she grew up and where 17 languages were spoken. I guess I can see how it could be interpreted that way, Wilkinson said of the issues raised by the local Black Caucus, which was recently created by Kevin Muhammad and other members of the black comm air max 1 unity.Wilkinson recalled reading in an initial Times Free Press news article on the mailer that he said that I was the one who brought it [Detroit values] up in my interview with the Times editorial board.

NASHVILLE -- U.S. Rep. Lincoln Davis campaign is accusing 4th Congressional District Republican rival Scott DesJarlais of dodging the incumbent Democrat after the Jasper physician dropped out of the campaign s only debate today in McMinnville, Tenn. He obviously doesn t want to talk about the revelations that we ve focused on in this campaign, said John Rowley, a Davis campaign spokesman. He s been hiding. He even insulted Chattanooga police. He described DesJarlais as a man of shame. DesJarlais campaign manager Brent Leatherwood said by e-mail that given the fact Scott has circled this district in the stanley quencher last week and we have yet to see Mr. Davis -- except on a video where his Washington chief of staff takes a swing at a student asking questions -- the only person in hiding seems to be Democrat Lincoln Davis.

Davis has sought to raise questions about DesJarlais character, utilizing ac stanley cup cusations made by his then-wife, Susan, in a bitter 2001 divorce.The debate, cosponsored by The Southern Standard newspaper and radio station WCPI-FM, had been set for 6 p.m. In a quick poll featured on its website Sunday, The Southern Standard says, Scott DesJarlais has withdrawn from a scheduled debate Monday night in McMinnville because his campaign manager says he doesn t want to give opponent Lincoln Davis another platform

Democratic Sen. Heidi Campbell, pictured with other legislators, is facing a challenge from Nashville Republican Wyatt Rampy. Tennessee Lookout Photo by John Partipilo With less than 100 days until the election, Tennessee Republicans and Democrats have narrowed their election maps to a handful of seats as each party sees a chance to add members to next year s General Assembly.Republicans have limited opportunities to expand their caucus, as they already dominate nearly every seat outside Nashville and hoka wanderschuh Memphis, controlling 75% of House seats and 81% of the Senate.Democrats see seats in Memphis, Knoxville, Clarksville, Smyrna and possibly Signal Mountain as up for grabs. The addition of Signal Mountain follows the primary loss of more moderate incumbent Republican Patsy Hazlewood. Michele Reneau narrowly won the primary by positioning herself to the right of Hazlewood, painting her as insufficiently conservative.Democrats have also nominated Kathy Lennon, a former school board member and teacher, to face Reneau, hoping name recognition and popularity can help overcome party identification.A top Republican priority is also to regain a foothold in Nashville, where the GOP has been shut out of the Senate since 2020 and the House since 2018.

Staff Photo / Former Hamilton County Sheriff s Office Deputy Daniel Wilkey, 26, sits in Judge Barry Steelman s courtroom Friday morning, Dec. 20, 2019. A U.S. District Court judge gave the go-ahead Thursday to a lawsuit against a former Hamilton County deputy accused of baptizing a woman against her will after a 2019 traffic stop.In addition to ruling that the suit against Daniel Wilkey, 28, may proceed, Tennessee Eastern District Court Judge Travis R. McDonough ruled that several aspects of the complaint against former deputy Jacob Goforth could not continue. Wilkey allegedly called Goforth to witness the baptism and Goforth recorded the incident on his cellphone.While excluding Goforth from most complaints in the lawsuit, the judge did say the former deputy had failed to protect the woman from Wilkey s use of excessive force. Goforth is qualified for reasonable immunity and summary judgment on samba og this claim, th air max 1 e judgment said. However, the ruling also found that Goforth had ample time to stop Wilkey from committing an unreasonable seizure. And, if anything, the truly bizarre nature of these facts should have put Goforth further on notice that the seizure was inappropriate, the adidas originals ultraboost judge wrote.Goforth had said he believed the woman to not be under police custody because she arrived at Soddy Lake in her own vehicle, but the judge stressed in his ruling that the woman might not have thought she was free to go until she was baptized by Veab Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Hammond plans more officers in schools
By MONICA DAVEYc.2010 New York Times News ServiceAs states gird for another grim budget year, more leaders have begun to talk not of nipping, not of tucking, but, in essence, of turning government upside down and starting over. Ever growing is the list of states, municipalities and agencies with blue ribbon committees aimed at reconsidering what government should be.A lawmaker in Nebraska this year proposed the unthinkable: Cut by half, or more, the 93 counties that have made up the state for generations. Senators in Indiana, aiming to thin the tangled layers there, want to eliminate the system of more tha stanley cup deutschland n 1,000 township boards.And in Missouri, where lawmakers this spring took a day off for a brainstorming session on how to reboot g stanley romania overnment, there is talk of merging the agencies that oversee secondary and higher education, providing incentives to counties for combining services, even turning to a four-day state workweek.But despite the longest recession since the Great Depression and predictions of new, gaping deficits in state budgets for at stanley thermos least the next two years, some of the most sweeping notions for overhaul remain just that - notions. And so, as more than a dozen states grapple with next year s budgets, most of which take effect July 1, many experts say politicians would be wise to do more than merely contemplate significant change - and may soon have little choice. We can incrementally hobble and muddle through, or we can stand back and be more strategic, said Sc

The Hamilton County Commission took a hard line on tightening its budget this year because of a bad economy, but unanimously approved tax breaks for four different companies.That, county officials say, is the price of doing business.But one award-winning author who has studied government tax incentives said businesses receiving them are getting a much better deal in the long run.David Cay Johnston, a Pulitze stanley water bottle r Prize-winning journalist and author of Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense And Stick You With the Bill , said private companies are essentially blackmailing local governments with tax incen stanley cupe tive deals.

NASHVILLE -- Five years after immigration agents and local police raided a south Nashville apartment complex, the federal and Nashville governments have agreed to pay $310,000 to 14 people who sued over constitutional violations.Plaintiffs include 12 Hispanic immigrant men who were arrested, and an American woman and boy who were detained and questioned. As part of the settlement, deportation proceedings against eight of the plaintiffs were deferred for seven years.Plaintiffs claimed in federal court that the immigration operation was intended to rid the Clairmont Apartments of Hispanic af1 residents, at the request of management. Under the settlement, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit against police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, which have denied any wrongdoing.The settlement with the officers was announced Monday. A separate settlement with the apartment owners and management was reached earlier this year. Terms of that settlement were not disclosed.Plaintiff Marvin Benjamin Lope adidas originals z Raxcaco had been about to go to the store with some friends on Oct. 20, 2010, when their car was s crocs absatz urrounded by immigration agents, according to the lawsuit. Although the agents had no warrants, they detained and questioned the men, then arrested them on immigration charges.Raxcaco, speaking in Spanish, said Monday he was happy with the outcome of the lawsuit, but the most important thing is that we hope now that this won t happen again to anyone else.
