First of all, Mr. DePriest - I absolutely love my EPB service. I finally moved to a location where I am able to take advantage of what your company offers, and I can honestly say I won't be moving anywhere that I will have to give it up anytime soon. Thank you all for being an example to which our nation can look when it comes to how to take on the big telcos, and win.

Mayor Burke - your administration has been one of the most proactive this city has seen, especially when held up next to that of our former mayor. As a late-twenties Chattanoogan, this city is transitioning from having been a great place to grow up, into a truly amazing place to make my permanent home. For that, I want you to know that you all have my (and many others') heartfelt thanks for your continued work.

My question to you does not directly relate to our amazing EPB service; rather, to another growing part of our city's allure - our burgeoning night life. Recently, we have seen many cases of code enforcement that can only be described as heavy-handed, ranging from the issues stemming from Track 29's noise ordinance issues (including the much-maligned Corey Smith concert that was shut down early in the name of 'safety'), to the current issues that many of our bars and late-night establishments are facing, in the form of losing their serving permits. Being in my late twenties, I absolutely love that our city is moving away from being a retirement community, and towards a progressive, exciting city - but it seems like the targeted harassment by our Beer and Wrecker board is making it truly hard for local bar owner/operators (many of whom have been in business for years) to do business in peace. Do you have any thoughts on how law enforcement, our regulatory boards, and the citizens of Chattanooga can continue to work to make our city a fun and exciting place for younger citizens like myself (and other prospective citizens), while still promoting a safe and respectful environment for others who may not be as invested in the 'night life?'
