Corker visits Rhea County, discusses national debt

DAYTON, Tenn. – Nearly 100 people attended a public forum in Dayton today to hear U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., discuss the federal government’s increasing debt.

“We’re moving toward a crisis,” he said. He said the nation should have a balanced budget rather than spending more than it has.

He addressed a number of resident concerns and answered questions before leaving for a stop in Knoxville.
