Ingram case an insult to us all![]() Hank Bonecutter Clarksville, TN – I remember when the controversial CDE referendum passed. It was a heated debate. Should our electric utility get into the cable business? Yep. We hired the guy we thought was going to take us there. The captain of the ship. Rick Ingram.
