Heartbreaking Stories
Not to start the weekend on a down note, but don't forget to go back and read some of the stories that people are telling regarding Tennessee's broken child support system in the Comments section of a post I authored that has disappeared off of the main screen. A new one appeared there today.
A year ago, I would have thought these tails of oppression by the State to be rare. That is certainly not the case. Lives are being ruined every day by this broken system. I applaud those members of the General Assembly who have lent me their ear (particularly Representative Stacey Campfield, who mind as well be my rep since I happen to live in Joe Armstrong's gerrymandered district) on this topic. I don't see this as a partisan issue, and I hope we can fix this system within the near future.
