Now THIS is interesting.

So I'm doing a little digging on the members of the TCBA.

One member, Sam Currier, owns the Warm Fork Woodlands, a lumber company that may or may not have ties to the Warm Fork restaurant, where the Chamber of Commerce ALWAYS has it's meetings.

Turns out, on 2/10/2003, the Warm Fork restaurant got a DEFENSE CONTRACT for $2,520:

For a weapon system NOT DISCERNABLE OR CLASSIFIED? WTF?!?!!

I also found out Dennis Redmon somehow is a member of the South Central Ozark Council of Governments, despite the fact that he is a banker, not employed in government.

I wish I'd had the time to do more digging into the TCBA before the vote Tuesday. There's lots of good dirt there to dig.
