]]> Comment on Rep. Joe McCord attempts to humiliate the Executive Director of TCWN by Lisa Starbuck http://www.tcwn.org/blog/2008/05/rep-joe-mccord-attempts-to-humiliate-the-executive-director-of-tcwn/#comment-22 Lisa Starbuck Fri, 02 May 2008 17:12:52 +0000 http://tcwn.org/blog/?p=24#comment-22 This would be hilarious if it weren't so sad . . . like they never pay any attention to lobbyists?! Rep. Niceley doesn't pay any attention to plain old citizens either, since I personally know that dozens of his constituents wrote to him recently asking him to support the Tennessee Scenic Vistas Act to protect our mountains and streams from the disaster of mountaintop removal, and he voted against it. His bio says he considers himself an environmentalist! I am very disappointed in the majority of our representation in Nashville.

Nicely is planning to return the salary he accepts for serving in the State legislature? By the way…Since being paid for work means it is “not worthy”..perhaps Rep.

Whatever we're paying you is not enough to put up with bullies, like Joe McCord, who try to attack on a personal level when their own position is without merit. What a cowardly thing for him to have done in blindsiding you that way. It sounds like he met his match. Good work. Hang in there...And thanks for all you do, Steve As one of the people who help pay your salary in a small way, let me say that we’re getting a bargain.

Our little group is comprised of part time environmentalists who do the best job we can between work, raising children and gardens. Having someone with Renee's credentials come and motivate us was like getting a shot of vitamin B! Thanks to Renee and all those who work to protect our waters from harm.
