Regional Meetings Off to a Great Start

We had excellent turnouts at our first two regional meetings this week in Jackson and Henry Horton State Park. Thanks to all the officials for turning out. We're averaging over 100 people per meeting so far. It's been great to see many of our returning officials as well as getting a chance to meet more of the new county commissioners and mayors. We've also been privileged to have the chairs of the Senate Education Commitee, the State and Local Government Committee and the Transportation Committees in attendance. We meet next in South East Tennessee at the Mountain View Holiday Inn in Cleveland, Tennessee, on Tuesday night the 14th. That's our only meeting next week as we'll take a brief break for the Governor's Economic Development Conference in Nashville the end of the week. Then it's off to East Tennessee the following week for Jonesborough on the 21st, Knoxville on the 22nd and Baxter (Putnam County) on the 23rd.
