I do not necessarily agree with or endorse any statement made herein. Our form of government works best, when many, differing viewpoints are heard and considered. The process is often "messy."

POST TP-1: INTERSTATE 3.
Received: September 29, 2006. Added: September 29, 2006.
I oppose building Interstate 3 from Savannah, Georgia to Knoxville, Tennessee. We already have too much traffic, too much air pollution, too much destruction of our beautiful landscape, too much transportation of radioactive materials to Oak Ridge, etc. How do others feel about having still more Interstate arteries feed into over-crowded Interstate highways in the Knoxville region? Please, enough!
Susan, Maryville
