Unfiltered

A state legislator in Tennsee has started a blog to communicate with his constituents. The blog for freshman Republican Rep. Stacey Campfield has really irritated the House's Democratic Leadership. Leadership went so far as to scuttle a bill by Campfield that would make it illegal to point a laser pointer at emergency personnel.

Campfield is not backing down, and that is good for his consituents. If he wants to provide an unfiltered view of his experience as a legislator, that is his perrogative.

Given the yearly machinations and goings on of our own General Assembly in Annapolis, it would be intriguing to read a blog written by one of our legislators.
