Blogging the NCSL Annual Meeting

State Rep. Stacey Campfield, R-Knoxville, is blogging from the National Conference of State Legislatures' annual convention, which is in Nashville this year. He reports here on a session on eminent domain reform in the wake of the Supreme Court's misbegotten Kelo decision. Meanwhile, the blogger at Music City Oracle is putting the local daily newspapers to shame with his wall-to-wall coverage of the NCSL convention's various sessions. Go here and scroll. He skewers The Tennessean for ignoring the two-hour session on "Critical Health Topics: Lessons from Tennessee." Says MCO:

Had a reporter managed to cover the event, they might have found any number of angles for a story: what the governor's office is saying to people from other states about why TennCare failed, future goals for CoverTennessee, the impact of disenrollment from TennCare on mental health patients, the use of disease management methodologies and technology to cut health care costs, why Tennessee is refusing federal funds in some of its current safety net strategies, the reactions of leaders from other states to the TennCare fiasco, and so on.

But, evidently, only those in Nashville who read this blog will even know that the session happened.

He has a related post here. May many more people read Music City Oracle.
