“This is a bitter night for of my fellow Tennessee Republicans. I have been in Nashville during trying times and know how disappointing it is when the will of the voter is ignored. Many hoped that after November, the smoky back rooms of Nashville could be sealed off for good. It seems that the same politics as usual that threatened a back door income tax almost a decade ago has re-emerged to overturn the message of the ballot box. The voters put 50 Republicans in the House to change the way our state does business. Now it appears that 49 of them must work harder to ensure their will is carried out.”
Where are these smoky back rooms and can I hang out there?
