Friday Recap for July 11th, 2025

My Comment

Well, the WCC is at again.   They continue to attempt to discredit our elected party officials and divide the Republican Party.  It is hard to understand what their ultimate goal is but it is not in line with either the county or the state GOP.  They are running out of derogatory slurs and very few are listening.  You can get just so much mileage from unsubstantiated and demeaning attacks before people stop listening.  Their latest foray into trashing the current county GOP board is laughable.   No, WCC, the current leadership is not made up of woke liberals.  We have very competent leaders in place who are building on the successes of the past.   

In the summer of 1968, I was living in Hartford, Connecticut and volunteering for Eugene McCarthy, who was a bona fide antiwar candidate.  He was running in the Democratic presidential primary.  I and a bunch of twenty-somethings spent the whole summer knocking on doors and getting petitions signed.  We got thousands of signatures thinking that those signatures would mean something at the state convention.

We attended the state convention thinking that we had done the work that would make a difference and that McCarthy would come out on top.  We were in for a rude awakening.  It turned out that the delegates, the people who actually had the votes, were primarily Hubert Humphrey supporters.  

To say that this was an eye-opening experience for me is an understatement.  I came away thinking, so this is how it works.  All the important decisions are made behind closed doors and we had the illusion that we had a fair system of elected leaders that the people actually wanted.  

 The SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) tried to recruit me, but I declined as they were just a bunch of crazies who, as it turns out, were the direct ancestors of Antifa.  They had plans to disrupt the 1968 Democratic Convention scheduled to take place in Chicago early in August.  I knew, after what I saw in Connecticut, that any hope of nominating anyone other than Humphrey was a fool’s errand.  

A lot of people my age got sucked into going to Chicago with the idea of violent confrontation and that’s exactly what they got.  There was copious film footage of cops beating kids that made a great backdrop for Abby Hoffman and friends.  They chanted, “The whole world is watching” and the news media had a field day; it was great for ratings.  Hubert Humphrey went on to lose to Richard Nixon and the beat went on.

 That was my first exposure to politics and I dare say, politics has always been this way and, considering what is going on today, it is not likely to change.

Déjà vu all over again.   Here we are on the cusp of a special election to replace Mark Green.  I can only imagine the scheming going on at the highest levels right now.  Who is going to get the nod on this one?  We have, in my opinion, a great candidate that I would love to see get in and that is Jody Barrett.  He has done yeomen work in the General Assembly and has a record of doing the right thing.  He is not establishment and will support conservative legislation. Also, he will listen to the people.  I support him 100% and if you want to get to know him, you can check him out at Jody Barrett.

Sheriff Hughes' Monthly report for May

Obituary for Andrew Ryan. Andrew was buried this past Monday. There were hundreds in attendance at his funeral. He was a fine young man and we all mourn his passing. He left an indelible mark on all who knew him.

People are standing up against three development projects.  This week, you will see  residents of Williamson County standing up for the preservation of the rural character of Williamson County that is so special.  The three projects are: the Harlin development that includes Hillview Lane and Coleman road; the Owen Valley development; and the Meyes Creek development.  You can read about and watch your fellow citizens during public comment at the BOMA Work session, the BOMA Board Meeting and the Williamson County Planning Commission.

The people who spoke provided sound reasons for opposing these projects.  They were polite and factual.  They knew what they were talking about.  If you are as concerned as I am about the future of Williamson County, please watch the videos.  We need many voices from all sides (you may be in favor of all three, and you have just as much right to be heard) to come together and decide, as a country, how we control development going forward. Once a rural space is gone, it is gone forever.

An upcoming event you might want to attend. Guitars for Vets is an organization that I am involved with. We give 10 free guitar lessons to vets and, upon completion, they get a brand new guitar, gig bag, tuner, capo, etc. It's a great program that has changed lives. The Nashville chapter holds a bi-weekly jam session so that graduates of the program can gather together and hone their chops. For the last several months, we have been holding a showcase, on the second Saturday of the month, at the Franklin VFW that includes performances by these veterans as well as Nashville song writers and anyone who wants to sign up for open mic. It's really a blast, and if you're looking for something fun to do on July 12th, come on out. Oh, and we encourage folks to sing along with the Vets and the food is delicious.

this past week the following committees/commissions met:

Monday July 7th

• Williamson County Budget Committee

Tuesday July 8th

• Williamson County Tax Study
• BOMA work Session
• BOMA Board Meeting

Thursday July 10th

• Williamson County Law Enforcement and Public Safety
• Williamson County Planning Commission

The AI program I use is pretty accurate, but it does make mistakes from time to time and I don't always catch them. I provide agendas and videos/audios when I have them available and recommend that you watch the video and follow along with the summary to get the most accurate report.

One of the limitations of AI is that if a participant's name is not called out, then they are listed as participant 1, 2, etc. A limitation with audio, as opposed to video, is that one cannot always identify a person by voice alone. As imperfect as these AI summaries are, they still give a pretty good account of a meeting.
