The World According to Oatney

From the Nashville Rumor Mill...

It has been reported to us from one source close to Capitol Hill that Jason Mumpower has cut a deal with Republicans who previously voted for House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh to insure that Mumpower is elected Speaker of the House in January. The new Republican House Majority is 50-49.

TN House District 17

Precincts Reporting: 100% (94 of 94)

Winner Candidate Incumbent Votes Vote % X Frank Niceley (R) X 8492 72% David Seal (I) 3277 28%

While none of this can be officially confirmed, we've also heard from a very reliable source that our own Frank Niceley has asked to be restored to his rightful place on the House Agriculture Committee. Further, Niceley may be appointed Ag Committee Chairman. Niceley or another Republican would replace current Agriculture Chairman Stratton Bone.
