CAMPBELL COUNTY, TN (SPECIAL TO WLAF)- Every generation faces defining challenges.

Our grandparents rebuilt after World War II. Our parents navigated recessions, globalization, and the rise of the internet. I believe one of the defining economic challenges facing my generation – millennials – will be student debt.

I’m a conservative, and us right-of-center folks have spent years debating whether student loans should be forgiven after they’ve already been borrowed. I believe we’re asking the wrong question.

Instead, we should be asking: How do we keep students from accumulating unnecessary debt in the first place?

CARYVILLE, TN (WLAF)- We heard the sad news Tuesday of the passing of Bailey, the dog, the dog who made Dave’s Lawn Mower Parts famous. As a result, lots of Bailey memories came rushing back, like the time Big Josh on WLAF called Bailey’s name out over the air, and she looked right at the radio looking for Josh. And when Bailey and I became fast friends right after I found where Dave hid her treats.
