Bill Hagerty is a Gallatin native and a candidate for the U.S. Senate. He also served as Ambassador to Japan, which means he has a valuable perspective on how we should maintain relations with our allies around the world.
The Sumner County Bridal Show is returning for its eighth year on Sunday, Jan.26, at the EPIC Event Centre in Gallatin.
When I talk with citizen groups in Tennessee about open government, people tell me they want more information about what their government is doing, not less.
A few falls back, I came into possession of an abundance of hardwood tree tops. I am set for firewood for the rest of my days.
For Tennesseans who are dependent on public assistance benefits, a difference of $100 or $200 in their monthly budgets can dramatically affect the way they live. If their monthly income drops by even a small amount, it can mean that bills don’t get paid and belts have to be tightened, if tha…
The 2020 legislative session begins this week, and my colleagues and I will focus on building upon our recent conservative achievements.
I remember meeting with one of my very first clients here at the TSBDC. They owned a local restaurant (no longer in existence).
I have these friends, the Knudsens — Paul and Natalie. A few years back they moved to the sunny South, settling in northern Middle Tennessee. Prior to relocating, they spent about five years looking for property to purchase in God’s country.
The year of our Lord 2020 is upon us. (For the purposes of this column let’s call it “twenty, twenty”.)
Happy New Year Gallatin! I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season and is ready for a great new year in 2020. Many people like to start a new year with resolutions that usually have to deal with making themselves better in some form or fashion. Instead of a new year's resolution, I…
So much of the news about personal financial identity is so negative and for good reason. Many are trying to take yours. But let me share what might be some good news. I got a phone call from a family member who had received a notice about funds of hers that had been turned over to the Stat…

The gift giving, house decorating, family visiting season has begun and with it many now face a state of depression that's often blamed on the holidays.
Scams, schemes and fraud; they are the last things on our minds this holiday season. However, we need to have a plan to be aware and avoid fraud. If we do not have a plan, someone else will - and our information and money could disappear.
Our community lost one of its most valuable pillars last week, and it is only fitting that we remember him here, where he often submitted articles on legal topics.
We were very saddened to hear the news that Jim Hawkins had passed away.
I suppose we all have stored in our memories a few favorite quotes and sayings of famous people and persons we have known. There are words that encourage us, words that instruct us, and words of warning. It seems to me, as time goes by, fewer and fewer words of warning are being heeded.
