Great Debate For Giles County!

Last night the three candidates seeking to represent the 65th District of Tennessee in the State Legislature met in a well organized debate, sponsored by the Giles Patriots. More than a hundred citizens came to the Pulaski Recreation Center to meet and hear the views of these men. They faced off on a number of questions for an hour and a half with almost another hour of all three candidates mingling with the crowd.

Each candidate Mr Bass, Mr Spivey, and Mr Root gave a very good accounting of themselves in expressing their views about state government and in responding to the questions that had been submitted by audience members.

Mr Bass is the current representative from the 65 District and a democrat who asked that people examine his record. Mr. Spivey is a republican but describes himself as more of a conservative who is more responsive to the people than the party. . Mr. Root defined himself as a conservative independent who has taken no money from any groups.

Did Teachers Get Paid This Week or Not?

Complaints are coming in that the Financial Management Office failed to deposit money in time for the School System employees to actually be paid today.
If it is true that the School System employees were not actually paid does this mean that a lot of folks who have automatic deposit and thought they were paid have now used their debit cards and written checks without having the funds sufficient to cover those debits? Will this possibly cost the taxpayers for over charges? If it's true and the deposit wasn't made how could such a thing happen, how could it happen? Seems like a lot of very costly mistakes are being made around the Courthouse these days.
