Municipal Election Interview on NoogaRadio

September 30, 2018 By Dick Cook 0 Comments

Last Friday I was invited to talk about the upcoming East Ridge Municipal Election with David Tulis on his NoogaRadio program.

Click here to watch the 30 minute interview. David has invited me back on October 16 for an extended, one hour, in depth discussion of the race for City Council, Mayor and Court Clerk.

David and I worked together for many years at the Chattanooga Free Press and then at the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

Tulis is editor of Nooganomics.com, an effort in entrepreneurial journalism in the Chattanooga, Tenn., area exploring the interests of Christianity and its many fruits — spiritual, cultural, economic.

David is a longtime proponent of liberty, prosperity and a free people under constitutional government. He is  active in homeschooling circles and is editor of Esprit newsletter. He has litigated personal constitutional liberties as a belligerent claimant in person, his case prompting the Tennessee General Assembly to revise a perfectly clear statute on social security numbers on driver license applications.

Until March 2012 he was the business section copy editor at the Chattanooga Times Free Press, where he worked nearly 25 years. He informs and entertains listeners 1 to 3 p.m. weekdays at his radio station, NoogaRadio 92.7 FM 95.3 FM HD4, and on Facebook. He is called “Chattanooga’s blogger with the biggest pen,” and he argues for local economy and free markets.
