A Better Idea

By Kleinheider Posted on August 21, 2008 at 2:25 pm

Rob Robinson says, instead of naming our airport after a country music star, we should name it after the late Public Defender Ross Alderman:

That said, we are extremely well known for our musical pedigree, and unfortunately that sometimes means that the pejorative pieces of that legacy are what people elsewhere choose to focus on. Naming one of the front doors of our community, the airport, after someone who will only reinforce that image doesn’t help the city in the long run. Let’s name it after Dick Fulton, Phil Bredesen, Bill Purcell or Ross Alderman instead.
