A wink, a nod, then poof! County commissioners revived their discretionary slush funds. The Sunshine Law foiled again.

Hooray for Mayor Coppinger! Taxpayers shouldn’t be contributing to commissioners’ re-election funds.

Please tell VW we have plenty of lawn care companies in Chattanooga. They definitely need one. Tired of driving by every day seeing all those tall weeds!
