media help needed
Andy Brack -- bettersouth.org
as you know, we're going to unveil our first Better South policy book next week.
In your state, I need help in getting names of key movers and shakers to send the book to.
If you can send me two kinds of names, I'd appreciate it:
1. Key media players -- the key editorial writers or political/budget reporters in your state.
2. Key political observers -- the kind of folks reporters interview to talk about budgets, economy and politics.
Thanks. Pls send before Friday.
Best,
Andy

In terms of economic gurus in Tennessee, there is none bigger than Dr.
Bill Fox at the University of Tennessee. His group is called the
Center for Business and Economic Research. Also in his group is Matt
Murray, who is quoted almost as often as Fox is.
