Nashville, TN – Among those no longer receiving Republican Governor Bill Haslam's daily news roundup are 74 lawmakers, five dead people, former Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen - and Bredesen's mother. Haslam's staff cut distribution of the widely read news roundup from more than 1,200 to 183. A spokesman says the change makes the email list more manageable. Documents show that among the lawmakers dropped are 42 Republicans, 32 Democrats and one independent. Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey remains on the list, but fellow Republican House Speaker Beth Harwell does not.
