Montgomery County Sheriff John Fuson: The new Sheriff in town

By Hank Bonecutter | January 14, 2013 |

Clarksville TN – When Sheriff Norman Lewis died last year, Montgomery County lost a very powerful and  popular public figure.  Norman Lewis left a legacy that would be hard to follow.  The Sheriff of Montgomery County has had a history of being a tough, “no nonsense” lawman, who was a powerful, influential, commanding, and politically connected figure.

Remember Joel Plummer?

Well, meet Sheriff John Fuson.

Clarksville City Council Budget Recap for June 22nd, 2012 – Part 2 – Final

June 22, 2012 |

Clarksville, TN – As I start this second report on the final Clarksville City Council meeting/result of the FY 2013 budget, you need to know that I sponsored an amendment to reduce it.  At first, I recommended a $2 million cut of the total spending request.  This would have lowered proposed expenditures to $79 million for FY 2013.

This would still represent a spending increase of $1.5 million over the initial projected budget of $77.5 million for FY 2012. Due to the $2.3 million that was eventually cut from the FY 2012 budget, actual spending was $75.2 million. Thus, true spending growth from FY 2012 to FY 2013 could have been $3.8 million ($79 mil-$75.2 mil) or 5%. «Read the rest of this article»
