Georgiana Vines reports on remarks at the recent League of Women Voters legislative breakfast....
On a related note, Sen. Campfield did not attend the meeting and declined to answer Georgiana Vines' questions about topic. Apparently constituents must read his blog to find out if he's representing them. Today he rants about exempting Tennessee from federal gun laws and how to get rid of the state attorney general.
