Let us rededicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world.

		Sumner Democrats Confront Sen. Black on Education Funding Posted by : assante on Wednesday, April 18, 2007
		Sumner Democrats continue to hold Sen. Diane Black (R-Gallatin) accountable for education funding. Sen Black, who has supported cigarette tax increases in the past, is refusing to support Governor Bredesen's proposal to use a modest increase in the cigarette tax to fund education. Sumner County would receive over $3.2 million for schools from this proposal -funds that would reduce the need for a local property tax increase. Volunteer State Community College, still recovering from last April's tornado, would also benefit from the plan. Chair Andy Allman and Vice Chair Len Assante each have spoken to and written columns for local media in support of the Governor's plan. Assante's latest column appeared in the Sumner am insert of the Sunday Tennesseean. Independent polls indicate broad support for the proposal among Tennesseans (70%) and even among Tennesseans who smoke (60%).SCDP urges all Sumner Democrats to contact their elected officials and encourage them to support the Governor's education inititative.Visit http://www.tnschoolsfirst.com/ for the facts about the Governor's proposal.
