Mid-Week Roundup

First, the bad news: those of you waiting for a Littlefield-Adams grudge match are going to have to find another hobby.

I've heard through the grapevine that Mayor Littlefield has named his campaign's (volunteer) media consultant to the top PR position in the City.

Writer David Magee opines about the silver lining inherent in losing a political race, and chides those who may be singing the Ann Coulter Blues.

The Hamilton County School Board unanimously outsourced all custodial/groundskeeping work to Southern Management. It is a local firm. If I read the article correctly, however, this means that hundreds of employees will likely join the tens of millions across the nation who are medically uninsured. Using my very simple style of mathematics, I conclude that equal salary + loss of health benefits = significant pay cut.

Congressman Harold Ford, Jr. reaps a couple of jabs for hypocrisy and jet-setting.

Here's part of the latest on TennCare.

Columnist Kurt Faires echoes my praise of new Election Commissioner Bart Quinn for his adherence to reason in the task of choosing the next Administrator.

That's some of the news in the civic streets today.
