Nathan Moore's Thoughts
More on Succession
Deputy Governor Dave Cooley has set up a transfer of power taskforce. It’s proper we ask and get answers as to what’s actually going on.
Today, Steve Gill has a comprehensive article on the subject. Any transfer of power would most certainly have to involve John Wilder, the eccentric Lieutenant Governor, who in addition to enjoying vivid recollections of the Mayflower, may also be the last person alive who has seen the Ark of the Covenant. The state of the Tennessee government would be sorry, indeed. The state bureaucracy would devolve into some sordid combination of the Neverending Story and Weekend at Bernie’s.
So, two things. We need a method of power transfer, and we need another lieutenant governor. Two birds, one stone sounds good to me.
