    State employees, like the ones who have free rides and free breakfast and lunch while going to and from the den that mandates grade school children walk around predators the capitol has placed .19 miles from our schools and pay for breakfast and lunch at full price. State employee union gets their safe routes, pay raises, and food on the backs of small children. What are you going to do about that Ms. Nolan? John Ragan and Randy McNally has forgotten about us here in Oak Ridge. Will you do the same?

      Mr. Kircher, well said, so please go vote out the one in there now. I will not choose party lines I choose people who do the best job for our COMMUNITY. I believe Caitlin will do better than John Ragan. She understands the laws and what is so needed in the OAK RIDGE COMMUNITY. If you talk to her. you to will see her highest priority are the children in this community.

        I will not be voting for John Ragan, Kay. I have heard him say our best interest, yet here we are years later watching our elected take care of their interest. If Caitlin follows this route of safety for the elected but her constituents are left to fend for their self, she will be a one term Representative also.
