  • Royce offers numerous excuses for implosion

      Supertang has come and gone.

    While many are attempting to make sense of what happened and who is to blame for the train wreck it became- I want to point out who is not to blame.

    In recent weeks I was in communication with Hal Royce, the mastermind behind the event.

    Throughout our conversations he kept telling me the “community was not supporting Supertwang.”

    Job-creating tort reforms pass the house by wide margin

    Legislation that caps non-economic damage awards at $750,000 and at $1 million in cases where victims suffer certain catastrophic injuries was given final approval by the House on Monday.

    The bill is a central focus of the majority’s legislative agenda. State Rep. Dennis Powers, a co-sponsor of the bill, believes these reforms will bring stability to the legal environment companies have to account for when considering relocation to Tennessee or doing business here.

     Editor,

    LaFollette Press:

    This letter is to say thanks to all who participated in the Rotary/Chamber Golf Tournament at Deerfield last Wednesday, May 4. The funds generated through the benevolence of team and hole sponsors and the good sportsmanship of the golfers who weathered unseasonable chilliness, will assist Rotarians in numerous projects, including the eradication of Polio world-wide. As usual, Campbell County businesses and individuals came through with shining colors.

    Sincerely,

     Editor,

    LaFollette Press:

    As I listen to reports of the elimination of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan, it occurs to me that the brilliantly planned and executed mission to do so was carried out by a joint military force operation and the CIA, in which we take great pride. Campbell County should also take pride in the one who was the principal architect of these joint Special Forces, General Carl W. Stiner. We thank you, General Stiner.
