The House and Senate clerks aren’t involved with making policy. They should be able to handle a request like this in the time it takes me to write this note.

Don’t you think they would be more worried about Jobs in TN—This is the problem—They get side-tracked on issues that don’t pertain to most tennesseans

Someone at the Capitol has to give the Press Corp(s) permission to be there…I would start with either the House Clerk or Senate Clerk:

Office of the Chief Clerk (House)
State Capitol, 2nd Floor
Nashville, TN 37243
Phone (615) 741-2901

Sergeants At Arms (House)
19 Legislative Plaza
Nashville, TN 37243-0104
Phone (615) 741-7450

Office of the Chief Clerk (Senate)
State Capitol, 2nd Floor
Nashville, TN 37243
Phone (615) 741-2730

Sergeants At Arms (Senate)
1 Legislative Plaza
Nashville, TN 37243
Phone (615) 741-4524

I would imagine that’s public record, correct?

Could Liberadio please identify and list here every current “bona fide” (to borrow a phrase currently in vogue with the Tennessee Republican Party) member/media employer of the Captiol Hill press corps…?

And by the same reasonng attributed to Capitol Hill press corp manager Erik Schelzig, reporters, freelancers, and news agencies working for or selling their services to any Tennessee newspaper or broadcast news outlet selling political advertising to any candidate for any state political office must tainted in a similar fashion…

So when does Erik Schelzig plan to resign as the Capitol Hill press corp manager and close shop to all reporters at the Tennessee state capitol?

What rubbish – you must have really pissed off Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey with some recent Liberadio comments about his 2010 abortion straw man arguments.

I know of one local radio host who receives ample financial support from a political party.

It’s not direct money, but the GOP has paid businesses to advertise on the show. Rumor has it this is part of the reason the Tennessean kiled the column.

Ok, ask it this way, is there any radio host in America that is funded by the local state Democrat Party?

You have a disclosure issue you need to deal with.

Donna C, why don’t you do some research on corporate media ownership and then get back to me about that El Rushbo question.
