Outside of Chattanooga, TN lawmakers are quite eager to please Pennsylvania's Comcast at the expense of its citizens.

Just looking at UTK, UTK Hospital, TVA and Oak Ridge...with that amount of engineering / medical / educated talent, East Tennessee should be at a minimum competing with Raleigh-Durham/Charlotte...especially with the Smokies and cost of living, but it feels more like a few companies pulling the rest of the area up a hill with the rest digging in where they are now.
Sorry for the rant.
