Governor Bredesen Calls for More Land Conservation
This afternoon, I joined others--including Hamilton County Party Chair Stuart James--in listening to Governor Phil Bredesen present an environmental protection initiative to Tennesseans. The governor spoke atop Lookout Mountain in historic Point Park. The initiative will increase Tennessee's land-buying power. Bredesen is proposing giving the Tennessee Heritage Trust Fund more fiscal power. This public-private foundation was established in September 2005. The governor referred to the state's recent purchases of 4,500 acres of land in Hamilton County and the Bowater donation. These changes have already permanently protected 50 miles of pristine woodlands on the Cumberland Plateau. I am proud to say that Gov. Bredesen is a Democrat and a leader we can trust.
