Sound Off Forum

It's time to say goodbye.

When this discussion forum was created nearly 10 years ago, it was one of the few places available to discuss local news events. Since then, however, we've seen an amazing growth of opportunities, here at WATE.com and across the Internet. With Facebook, Twitter, in-story comments, polls and other discussion options, there is no longer a shortage of places to share viewpoints.

We will be shutting down this forum on April 1, 2010. (No joke intended.) We hope you will continue to visit WATE.com and share your opinions in our other discussion features. Thank you for your loyal participation and contribution to the discussion.

I hope they lose their butts!

I live here, believe me, we have enough crap to bring in the tourists.  There is no reason to level the hills so that the tourists (most of whom are unemployed, spending all their money on food and fuel, or paying too much for health care)can be separated from their cash.

Well, there goes my career in politics!

Deb, I work near Sevierville, and I understand exactly what you mean! Pretty soon the reason people come to this part of Tennessee will be gone, overridden by resort buildings, tourist traps, etc.
