In This Week's Pulse
Through only minute amounts of collaboration, the Pulse sounds a chord of inquiry in the direction of the Chattanooga Mayor's office. (Music theory bonus question: what kind of chord sounds "interrogative"?)
The lead news article examines labor unions' campaign contributions to Ron Littlefield and to three members of the Chattanooga City Council. It then reiterates the mayor's assertion that he doesn't remember under what circumstances he came to meet his largest donor, the Service Employees International Union, or whether convicted bribe-taker Ward Crutchfield helped set up that meeting.
That campaign must have gone through some serious "throes" because I think I'd remember meeting someone who handed me $11,500, as well as the person who introduced us.
The latter is the fundamental sonority in my Civic Forum column, which also harmonizes with the story that the new Neighborhood Services newsletter seems like little more than a taxpayer-funded re-election instrument.
The front-page feature is on comedian Ron White, who, like the article admits, is funny, even though he tours with Jeff Foxworthy and "Larry the Cable Guy."
As always, there's much more.
