I have it on good local authority that Rochelle turned down a lobbyist position because he was deterrmined to get a state income tax passed.We have to work hard to defeat this loser.
I disagree. This will amount to nothing. They can't pursue this without shooting themselves in the foot. Taxboy Matt Kisber has lived in Nashville for years, but he can represent Jackson because he falsely claims to reside at his mom's house in Jackson. And he's not the only Democrat doing this. It's no secret. It's simply part of the political game in TN.
If the Democrats want to play hardball, it will come back squarely in their face.
Man I hope not, but it sounds like this may be the case. She sure didn't put up much of an argument in the article. Just accused Rochelle and the democrats of being conniving weasels, which is true, but in this case they're just playing hardball, and I can't say I blame them. If her candidacy tanks because of this, the Beavers people have no one to blame but themselves. This seems like something that could have been readily avoided.
If this does spell the end for Beavers, then I'm going to be very disappointed. I was very much looking forward to seeing Beavers dislodge Rochelle's porky posterior. It would have been such a blow to the pro-tax crowd.
In a nutshell, who is this Shoaf? What is he like and does he (or she) stand a chance against Rochelle?
