Daily Ethics Action Digest: 6/28

Attention: Times Free Press - A comment was added on South End Grounds that pretty much spells out your task in this effort. I will echo the plea for "more better" coverage of this issue from our newspapers, in hopes that the information reaches the most, but I also look to weblogs and any other outlet (talk radio, local tv news) to help.

The Tennessean has made decent strides, for its part. Bill Hobbs uses its third installment in the current series as a springboard for some specific attacks on Governor Bredesen. I am trying to build a united front, so I encourage you on the left to take Bill's partisan ire with a patient reading but to definitely follow all the links in this post and piece together the facts therein. We cannot let one member of this government (let alone its chief executive) think that talk of these reforms is just some smoke blown at Sunday dinner.

For your convenience, the Tennessean articles: One | Two | Three
(someone please correct me if I got those wrong)

Now, on the local front: we still don't have a full-time elections administrator. I hope we all know how important it is to ensure as much as possible that this position is held by someone who possesses lots of integrity and (preferably) no political bias. Several people feel that interim (and Deputy) administrator Bud Knowles is the best candidate, though the list continues to change.

The question is, how do we effectively communicate with the five Election Commissioners? They're the ones who'll decide.
