East TN Conservative

The most feared thing by several on the BMA is happening. People are starting to realize what is going on and are starting to be vocal about it. Here and here .

More and more money going out to "consultants ", People twisting and turning data into make believe, and population dwindling.

There is a national trend among Conservatives with a revolt. Tennessee is leading the charge, turning into a completely red state for the first time in many years. East TN is leading the state on its new path. Will the people of Kingsport do their part and get rid of the spenders? Will we step up and take our local governments back? Realize that the money they spend is our money and our kids future? I think we will.

The reason for our population problems are simple... Jobs. My graduation class and those in front and behind of mine get a education and move to Knoxville and Nashville. There are simply no jobs for the education we receive. Now those that do not expand on their education are having hard times to get jobs as well. Retail simply don't solve the problem. It is good for high school jobs and these are mostly part time jobs at best. So we will get a higher education center to push even more people out of our town. On top of this we put up red-light cameras, funnel money in a part of the town no one goes to (MeadowView), have higher taxes than the leading city in the Tri-Cities area. People shop at the neighboring state for food and cigarets. Communities being destroyed. The more voice we have standing up and out the better we are. Remember this is our Government this is our tax money. Not Eastman's
