Lamberth's Lack of Vision

State Rep. William Lamberth of Sumner County clearly lacks vision and imagination. Here's an excerpt from his piece in the Hendersonville Standard in late May, 2020:

Because of the sacrifices we have made and those we continue to make, more and more restrictions are now being eased. This includes those on our larger attractions like amusement parks, theaters, and museums, which are now all ready to safely reopen. At the same time, we must continue doing our part to slow the spread of Covid-19, and to preserve our health system capacity, while also protecting our most vulnerable. Taking the appropriate precautions and following these suggestions and others from the CDC will help restore consumer confidence and ultimately, rebuild our economy.

Here's the deal:

The most recent data from the state indicates that hospitalizations from COVID-19 are up 40% in just the past 5 days.

There's new modeling showing TN is poised for a HUGE COVID-19 comeback in the coming months.

Meanwhile, Lamberth and his legislative buddies have slashed funds coming to local school districts for investment in our teachers.

What Lamberth labels leadership most lament as laziness.
