Stacey Gene Hill, 59, was among eight people arrested in the sting in Dalton, Ga.

Three of Bradley County’s representatives to the state Legislature say a new bill to improve broadband access to Tennesseans is almost sure to pass, but it may not be everything everyone wants.
The subject, which has been a hot topic across the county for the last few years, was a focus point as the three legislators paid a visit to the Cleveland/Bradley County Chamber of Commerce’s Public Affairs Committee.
State Rep. Dan Howell said while Nashville has been preoccupied with Gov. Bill Haslam’s transportation infrastructure funding bill, the issue of broadband access “is certainly getting the attention in the hallways.”
He said there is no disagreement for the broadband need in the rural parts of the state.
