State Legislature Leadership Elections

I was VERY disappointed to see that Bill Dunn lost his minority leader post in the State House and Frank Niceley lost his bid for a leadership post.

Both Bill and Frank are old and dear friends of mine. Bill and I go back to our undergraduate days at UT when we both served on the residence hall staff. I attended his wedding and watch his family grow over the years. I have known Frank since my grad school days. Both Bill and Frank are and have always been warriors for conservative causes. No one can match Franks's grasp of the interplay of American history, Tennessee history and Tenness politics. The House Republican Caucus will be a feckless and flaccid group without their leadership.
