« Key Word Search | Main | Assistant AG Calls For Fewer Public Records Requests » August 28, 2006It's Called "Public Office" for a Reason, Phil
Mermo to Gov. Bredesen: If you're sick enough to need a trip to the Mayo Clinic, it's serious and the people of Tennessee have a right to know and to not be stiff-armed by the secrets-keepers in your PR office. If you want privacy, you can always go back to the private sector. But right now you're governor - the most public job in Tennessee. They don't call it "public office" for nothing. And the public has a right to know about the health of its governor. Posted in Tennessee Government News
