Each year a legislative policy agenda is developed by the cities of Bristol, Kingsport, and Johnson City to provide a unified position regarding key legislative initiatives affecting the Tri-Cities.
A luncheon was held with area legislators today to formally present the 2012 legislative policy which includes nineteen (19) policy objectives grouped into six subject areas: (1) Education, (2) Public Safety, (3) Economic Development, (4) Unfunded Mandates and Local Control, (5) Transportation, and (6) Local Revenue.
Now the hard work comes for our legislative delegation - to advance the various initiatives identified and, as importantly, to stave off any bad bills that will be introduced in Nashville this session.
We are truly fortunate to have such a qualified and capable group of state senators and representatives serving our communities in this session of the 107th General Assembly.
Thanks in advance to each of you for your outstanding service to our communities.
