Chas Sisk captured the essentials from last night’s Nashville Junior Chamber gubernatorial forum at Lipscomb University in Nashville. Not surprisingly, much of the conversation centered on crises and government responses to them. The audience heard from Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam, Jackson businessman Mike McWherter, and Third District U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp.

Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey was not at the forum, as he was active in his role as Speaker of the Senate at the time.
