Rep. Napier visits Madison County chapter

This
week, the Madison County chapter was joined by a special guest during their
monthly meeting. The representative for Madison County, Lonnie Napier, joined
the Madison County chapter to discuss some of the problems facing the region,
along with some of the legislation Napier has proposed to address these
problems. During this ‘lobby meeting’, the 22 Madison County members present
grilled Rep. Napier about his positions on several of the legislative measures
that KFTC supports, such as tax reform, restoring voting rights to felons, and
protecting streams and water sources from mountaintop removal mining.

Rep. Napier meets with members of the Madison County chapter.

Napier
expressed support for some of the bills that the members of the Madison County
chapter brought up in discussion, but often withheld his support until he could
read the bill in question. In all, the discussion was serious yet lively, with
both Lonnie Napier and the chapter members showing mutual respect and concern
for the issues facing the region.  Rita
Smart, the other representative for Madison County, will be visiting the
Madison County chapter at their next meeting.
