Elk River Discontinues Late Notices
Elk River Utilities District has decided to discontinue sending out late notices to those who are late on paying their gas bills. The utility will save approximately $1,000 a month in postage as they currently send out some 1,500 notices a month. This comes as the postal service is combining the mail distribution center in Chattanooga to Nashville, which would mean a longer waiting period for the bills to be paid. The utility will discontinue sending out the notices and waiving late fees effective July 1.

The survey reached 1,002 adults in the state and 75 percent of them were registered voters. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus four points. Pollsters found 57 percent of people wanted the economy to be the top priority, followed by education with 22 percent and health care with 14 percent. Only 28 percent approved of how lawmakers were doing their jobs. Gov. Bill Haslam received a 61 percent approval rating.
