The Tennessean today announced endorsement in the upcoming election. They endorsed almost all of the wrong candidates. Think of this as a list of for whom not to vote. Most of their choice are liberals and rubber stamps for the Mayor. They played it safe and endorsed for reelection all of the at-large incumbents including the two moderate at-large members.
The Tennessean also recommended voting against the fairgrounds.
The few candidates highlighted in red are the very few they got right and several of those are running unopposed.
If I didn't have the newspaper habit, I would cancel my subscription. I wish we still had two newspapers.
