I dumped that file (enormously thick) on the desks of Ron Ramsey, and various other legislators. At one point, I brought it up at a campaign forum for gubernatorial candidates, and was literally shouted down (by other grassroots orgs there and supporters of Haslam.) The surrogate for Haslam at this forum, (later in a private conversation with him,) had no idea what "GREEN" or "SUSTAINABILITY" was. I enlightened him....to no effect. (Three of us at the forum knew what I was referring to and we agreed beforehand that one of us would bring the topic up if it wasn't addressed. One of those individuals was Samuel Duck, also a gubernatorial candidate, if you will remember.) THE REASON WHY Haslam will not sign or agree to this resolution, is because he completely supports this UN objective. He HAS been involved in it for a long time, having served on the "Conference of Mayors," etc. He is so deeply embedded in this administration and progressive ideals, there is no 6 degrees of separation between him and THEM/IT. He will NEVER be the "CONSERVATIVE" governor many THOUGHT him to be. He CAN'T be. Many of us tried to alert the folks on the ground in that campaign (and others' campaigns for governor), BUT TO NO AVAIL! NOW IT IS WHAT IT IS, WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS FOR NOW! AND THE UN AND HASLAM AND THAT BROOD OF VIPERS ARE GOING TO ROLL OVER US LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN. I would highly encourage folks to do their vetting homework before falling into a trap with your elected representatives. I am hearing very disturbing information about folks falling in unconsciously with certain incumbents (regardless of their records and behaviors), and slathering money all around, to folks we would not even go out to dinner with, or trust our children with. The homework is not hard to do with this new system CALLED THE INTERNET! IT DIDN'T TAKE ME LONG TO RESEARCH AND DEVELOP AN ENORMOUS FILE ON BILL HASLAM.....AND THEN NO ONE WOULD LISTEN!

It didn't send them back to their computers to come up with new projections. That tells me they are asking for the moon, gambling that they might just get it. If the council is naive enough to give them a tax increase, then they will continue down the path of unbridled spending. What a pity that taxpayers have to wage this fight because no one else will.
