Yanahli on the chopping block again!

The political culture of state as a whole is too tunnel-visioned on economic growth alone. By this I mean other important priorities are completely neglected. I guarantee you at some point in future conflicts you will hear a commissioner or state politician say "well, if you work hard and get enough money, you can hunt your own private land." Then they'll proceed to characterize anyone who insists on there being public land as a socialist who wants a handout. In other words, there will be an outright hostility to public lands altogether as a sort of tax through opportunity cost.
 
I'm posting this over in the General Forum thread as well.

The Senate bill, S.B. 1839 (identical to House bill, H.B. 1674) is pending in the Senate Energy, Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee after passing second consideration on 1/26/2022. These are the senators to contact: https://www.capitol.tn.gov/senate/committees/energy-ag-nr.html. I noticed that some are also on the Senate Government Operations Committee, but only a couple.

H.B. 1674 also passed second consideration (on 1/18/2022) and was assigned to the Cities and Counties Subcommittee (of the Local Government Committee). These are the representatives to contact there: https://www.capitol.tn.gov/house/committees/sub-cities-counties.aspx.
 
House Cities and Counties Subcommittee next meeting is Tuesday, 2/8 at 9am. https://capitol.tn.gov/Bills/112/Calendars/2022-2-7_CommH.pdf. House calendar does not provide agendas for subcommittee meetings.

Next meeting of the Senate Energy, Ag and Natural Resources Committee is Wednesday 2/9 at 11:30 am. https://capitol.tn.gov/Bills/112/Calendars/2022-2-7_CommS.pdf Agenda for that meeting is (a) TN Forestry Commission Annual Report and (b) Budget Hearing for TN Dept. of Agriculture.

Neither House nor Senate calendars provide information for meetings/hearings beyond next week, but you can have the weekly calendars e-mailed to you, which I have signed up for and you can too.

I corrected this post over on the General Forum thread. You can find subcommittee agendas at the same links posted above. The House Cities and Counties Subcommittee agenda for the meeting on 2/8 does not include HB 1674.

We can attend these meetings when the time comes. They have to be open.

That has already been mentioned in this very forum, mainly during western public land debates where Ted Cruz is involved.
 
If everyone emailed Cepicky and told him they will not vote for him in re-election if he keeps pushing the issue or votes for this bill....it will get his attention. Politicians are thick skinned but remove their assumed power or get into their pockets and you get their attention. Even if your not in his district....your not voting for him.
