Paris Landing Inn To Close Permanently
You might want to grab a cup of coffee, tea or the beverage of your choice while you read this one, cause it’s a doozie. I’m taking a big gamble here hoping you don’t just read a headline and stop. Matter of fact I need you to keep reading as Paul Harvey would say “the rest of the story”. Some will never completely read this but they’ll ask a lot of people “Did you see today’s paper?” Then they’ll follow up with something like this - “Why are they closing the Inn at the Paris Landing State Park? You can thank that Wirgau guy for this one.”
I’m Tim Wirgau, State Representative for the 75th District in the great State of Tennessee. I am running for re-election and I have never been in such a negative campaign in all my years of public service. As we enter the last days of early voting, which ends July 28th, and then the final Election Day of August 2nd, I want to reach out to my constituents to have some straight talk. Some tough talk, but facts. Deceptive ads are everywhere these days, even right here in the 75th district. Wannabe politicians will say and do anything to convince you they are the next great leader.
Being the owner of a small business that produces all sorts of printed products, as well as campaign materials and signs, I never thought I would be out signed by an opponent - but guess what? I have been. The funny thing is these signs are different. They’re not the average “Elect Me” signs, they just say a couple of words to plant a seed in your mind - a seed of deception - a twisted version of the actual facts - and guess what - it might work!
If I said something like Bruce likes mixed drinks, you would think I’m calling him an alcoholic, which is exactly what I would want you to think. But in a court of law I could defend myself because I actually never accused Bruce of anything. I just made a statement. A statement that I was hoping would convince you to draw a negative conclusion. You are the one who came to your own conclusion. See Bruce, or as most call him “Big Shot Bruce,” is a lawyer and he is good at convincing people with twisted statements.
Now Big Shot Bruce, who has no job, wants to represent us in the State House. Yep he likes to place statements on signs that are twisted. Fight for Paris Landing Inn! See Big Shot Bruce knows some people haven’t done enough homework to understand the poor condition of the Inn, causing our visitors who come to spend 3-4 days to check out early and never return to our area because of the disastrous shape of the rooms. The real fact is Henry County is going to be blessed with a new Inn and everyone will love it. Folks will fill our rooms quickly and I doubt you’ll see them checking out early. I think it’ll be like a new restaurant on the block – everyone will want to check it out.
Fight for industry and jobs - Big Shot Bruce doesn’t say how he’ll fight for those jobs he just has a twisted little line that makes you think we have no jobs here. Economic development was the key to my platform when I ran for office. I told you how I was going to create jobs - not just a couple of words on a sign. Guess what - my idea worked. We have added over 1400 jobs in this district alone because of it. An idea I shared with you - not just a couple of words fight for industry and jobs. I’ll bet no one has even asked Big Shot Bruce how he’s going to do this - we are too consumed with excitement from a few words - FIGHT FOR INDUSTRY AND JOBS!
Push welfare reform - he can’t even claim I voted against welfare reform- he just says I haven’t introduced legislation to do it. Here’s a clue that Big Shot Bruce should know, but doesn’t - he’s not running for Congress which holds hearings in Washington. Welfare Reform is decided in DC not Nashville. He will be disappointed to know that he won’t get the opportunity to work beside Donald Trump, whose administration fired Big Shot Bruce. Oops, was he trying to keep that a secret?
End Benefits for illegals in TN – This is the number one emotional cord to get people fired up. Ask any political pollster out there. This is the hottest issue in every county of the state of Tennessee, with the exception of Shelby County. See Big Shot Bruce has you convinced that I’m working in Washington DC voting every day to give illegals benefits - and some of you have bought it. This is exactly what Big Shot Bruce has wanted you to believe. The fact is my voting record is out there - not just words, look it up. When it comes to STOPPING sanctuary cities I voted for it. When we voted to encourage Congress to build a wall - yep I SUPPORTED it. I could list numerous other bills as well, but I won’t. Facts are facts - END BENEFITS FOR ILLEGALS IN TN! Another twisted statement that is planting a seed of deception.
Against the Gas Tax! I received a copy of something Big Shot Bruce posted on Facebook - look it up before he removes it after he reads this. He states “Even if I personally disagree with the majority of constituents on an issue. I am duty bound to vote according to the majority of my constituents even if it goes against what I personally believe.” What Big Shot Bruce doesn’t tell you is that 72% of the people in the 75th district agreed with the “Improve Act” - which Big Shot Bruce refers to as “GAS TAX” and guess what, he’s one of the 28 percenters that’s against it. He even claims that he’ll repeal it. AGAINST THE GAS TAX - 72% of constituents in the 75th district agreed to the “IMPROVE ACT.” We needed funds for new roads and infrastructure. We wanted to continue to be a “pay as you go state” for highways and bridges. There never was any bill called “GAS TAX”! – that is a fact.
I’ll close with this fact – I am Tim Wirgau - your State Representative - I TAKE PRIDE IN DISTRICT 75. I would appreciate your vote and I approve this message.
Paid for by Committee to Elect Tim Wirgau, Tom Dalton, Treasurer.
