State Senator Mark Pody was in Smithville Saturday where he held an informal town hall type meeting with constituents at a local restaurant to discuss issues before the Tennessee General Assembly.

Speaking with WJLE later in the morning, Senator Pody said people want to know when TDOT plans to let the contracts for the Highway 56 improvement project from Warren County to Smithville. He said people also have strong opinions about medical marijuana legislation and the heart beat bill, that Pody is sponsoring that would outlaw abortions in Tennessee once a fetal heartbeat can be detected — which typically occurs in the early weeks of a woman’s pregnancy.
