Missing leadership in Kingsport, TN city government
Stimulus Watch has a list of “shovel-ready” projects for which the mayors of this state have requested federal stimulus funding. I guess Kingsport, Tennessee Mayor Dennis Phillips and City Manager John Campbell are happy with the unemployment rate (Dec. 8.4%) for Kingsport, because Kingsport does not have any “shovel ready” projects listed. It is interesting that Johnson City submitted 11 projects.
Where are our great economic development politicians when we need them? Why is it they just want to spend our local tax generated money when billions of dollars are available from the feds?
Kingsport citizens deserve better leadership!!
