It’s 8:20 p.m. and the Tennessee State House Democrats are gettin’ all “Mr. Smith” with the cigarette tax bill. Live video streaming available (click on the May 31 9:00 am session link).

Right now, the Fightin’ 52nd’s Representative Rob Briley, is waving around the Republican budget that he says is “not about education, doesn’t fund education adequately, in fact it barely funds it at all. It’s also not about public safety, doesn’t fund public safety adequately, in fact it barely funds it at all. This is ridiculous…If ya’all say you’re for education and this is how you do it, I surely don’t want you on my team.”

Honey! Get the Orville Redenbacher!
