Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Stokes Co. Chairman chimes in on the final budget...

From John Turpin, chairman of the Stokes County Board of Commissioners:

Couldn't get them to come down last night to revenue neutral. The tax
rate was established at 60 cents, fire tax was raised 1 cent for King, 3.3
for Walnut Cove, and .5 cent for the county. Joe and I voted against
all.
