cue the firing squad
It’s pathetic what our political discourse has sunk to. I understand we don’t want to burden future generations, but something has to be done to fix the healthcare system. How are we going to do that when we can’t even be civil enough to debate our ideas clearly?

The good, the bad, the ugly
I was raised on Roy Rogers, but Spaghetti Westerns are awesome.
Carl Perkins, Martin, Reading Railroad

The Reading Railroad and Carl Perkins cut
They were cut from the budget because “they are not city organizations, we have to take care of our own.” On the other hand The Martin Business Association received no cuts at all and will continue to get their $5,000. While I understand that hard times call for drastic measures, this isn’t the way. Reading Railroad promotes literacy among Tennessee’s children and The Carl Perkins Center helps support families in preventing and dealing with child abuse. Child abuse and illeteracy are serious problems in West Tennessee. The citizens of Martin benefit from these volunteer based programs. To cut funding from them because they also serve other areas besides Martin is snobbish. It’s certainly no way to recruit businesses to our little town.
