SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. – City officials are making preparations for a “first” in South Pittsburg.

On Tuesday, Gov. Phil Bredesen will visit the town accompanied by Mike McWherter, the Democratic candidate for governor, and his father, former Tennessee Gov. Ned McWherter.

“It will be the first time Gov. Phil Bredesen has come to South Pittsburg,” Mayor Mike Killian said. “It is certainly a special day that the governor is coming here.”
