Yager, Brooks re-elected to TACIR leadership

State Sen. Ken Yager, R-Kingston, right, and Cleveland Mayor Kevin Brooks, left, have been reelected as chair and vice chair of the Tennessee Advisory  Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), respectively.  TACIR was created in July 1978 by Chapter 939 of the Public Acts of 1978. TACIR was created in response to legislative findings in the late 1970s indicating the need for a permanent intergovernmental body to study and take action on questions of organizational patterns, powers, functions, and relationships among federal, state, and local governments.
