Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Many-Bears Grinder has announced an initiative to establish a new State Veterans Cemetery in the Upper Cumberland Region. The department has submitted a pre-application grant to the National Cemetery Administration for federal funding of the architectural design, engineer support and construction costs. However, funding for land acquisition must be raised through donations as well as city, county and state funding. The cemetery would be located in the Upper Cumberland Region to serve veterans and their eligible dependents in here in Cumberland, Warren, White, Van Buren, DeKalb, Trousdale, Smith, Putnam, Pickett, Overton, Macon, Jackson, Fentress, and Clay Counties. A steering committee has been formed to proceed with the land acquisition process. The next meeting is May 17th at 10am at the White County Courthouse.

Haslam awaiting Attny Gen decision on "Ag Gag" bill
AP Friday May 10, 2013

The state's attorney general says legislation requiring anyone recording images of animal abuse to submit unedited footage to law enforcement within 48 hours is constitutionally suspect. Attorney General Robert Cooper said in the opinion issued Thursday that the bill is questionable on three grounds, including that its reporting requirement could be found to constitute an unconstitutional burden on news gathering. A number of groups have spoken out against the proposal, saying the measure would put an end to extended undercover operations targeting animal abuse. Governor Haslam has the bill on his desk and said earlier this week he was waiting on the attorney general's opinion before making a decision on whether to veto it or let it become law.
