As U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann wrapped up the day’s third “town hall” meeting and opened the floor to questions, two generations challenged their congressman.
The older man began with a little praise.
Bob Strange, a 79-year-old Lookout Valley man whose business card says “retired,” identified himself as a conservative Republican and said he voted for Fleischmann in last year’s elections.
“However,” he said, “unless you become reasonable, I’ll be one of those who will vote against you.”
