NASHVILLE, Tenn. - This week it's the ladies' turn. Several locals were in the mix Wednesday night. The judges have been bragging about how good the girls are this year. Wednesday night we got a little taste of that talent! The Dolly Chicks sang the Dixie Chicks' song "Sin Wagon". One of the members, Kree Harrison, is listed as a Texan. We know that she actually lives here in Nashville. The group had a little bit of drama - one member not wanting to stay up and rehearse. In the end, all but one member made it past the Hollywood round, including Kree. Congrats! One group the judges called the group of the day, Nicki even on her feet and saying that member Janelle Arthur has been her favorite time after time. Janell is actually a Tennessee girl, from Oliver Springs in East Tennessee. One young lady is not from our area, but was another country standout. Her name is Rachel Hale and she is from Prescott, Arkansas. The judges called her the happiest contestant they've ever seen. Nicki leaned over and whispered to Keith during her performance that she was going to be very relatable! We know of at least one other local that made it to Hollywood Week. Her name is From Sarina and she is from Columbia, Tennessee. We will actually have her LIVE in the studio with us Thursday. Hopefully, they will show some of her singing Thursday when Hollywood Week continues with the girls' solo performances.

Vanderbilt poll: Tennesseans oppose online tax
May 21, 2013 17:59 GMT
By ERIK SCHELZIG Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A new Vanderbilt University poll finds a majority of Tennesseans oppose the state enforcing online sales taxes, though respondents were split on whether the current system is fair to local businesses.
Fifty-five percent said that taxing online sales is a bad idea, while 38 percent said it would be good policy.
The U.S. Senate earlier this month passed a bill to empower states to collect sales taxes from Internet purchases, but the measure faces a tough sell in the House. The change is supported by Gov. Bill Haslam and fellow Republican U.S. Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker.
But Haslam enjoys a 63 percent approval rating among the 813 registered voters surveyed in the poll, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
