Political Quotes

“A few weeks ago, Frank Cagle, my close friend and a good Libertarian conservative, passed away after a battle with cancer. Frank was a brave American who served with the 82nd Airborne during the Vietnam war. Following his service, he attended college and worked for newspapers across the South. In 1982, Frank came to east Tennessee to work at the Knoxville News Sentinel as a copy editor. His passion was reporting on State and local politics. Frank put his commentary into action, serving as deputy to Knoxville Mayor, Victor Ashe, and working as campaign manager on Congressman Van Hilleary's 2002 bid for Governor. He later returned to journalism, writing columns and analyzing policy for Knox TN Today, WATE, and back at the Knoxville News Sentinel. Frank focused his career on delivering unbiased political reporting, and his contributions will leave a long-lasting impression on all of us in east Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to celebrate Frank's life and recognize his dedication to our community on the House floor. Rest in peace, my good friend. ____________________”
