Tennessee Report writes about Heather Scott, who is running for the Tennessee House of Representatives:
Heather Scott is a Libertarian, but she is running as an independent.
From her eight years as a member of the Wilson County Commission, Scott says she’s seen how programs come down from the state and federal government that may or may not be right for a particular county, yet local governments have to enact them and cover the costs that come with them.
Scott recalled how she led a resolution a few years ago sending a message to both the state and federal governments to stop unfunded mandates.
