More Serious Coverage of Straw Man

The Tennessean includes in its pages this morning another piece on a proposal for a per-mile based tax for funding road construction, this one being a guest column opposing such a tax.

It is amazing how much space is being expended on an issue that the newspaper misreported in the first place by claiming it was supported by a state senator who only asked questions about it and that, in fact, has no chance of ever seeing the light of day. Perhaps the paper could return to reporting news on real issues of importance to the state?

"Return to?" My bad. I meant "begin."
