Sen. Andy Berke On Middle-Class Tennesseans

I’ll let him do the talking.

My concern is the Tennessee General Assembly. We face an increasingly important choice: Are we going to cater to the margins, invoke political stunts and try to appeal to those who yell loudest by passing do-nothing bills? Or are we going to roll up our sleeves and do the hard work, by engaging in a discussion together about how we help Terry, Sam and the middle-class families across Shelby County and the rest of Tennessee?

Now is the time for leadership.

Read the whole thing. Nice to see a state legislature talking to real people and being grown-ups.

Good job, Sen. Burke.
