director fees...which she voted for.

NASHVILLE -- State Sen. Ophelia Ford -- already a YouTube star for her snarling "what you're saying ain't hittin' on nothin' with me" speech last year -- was back at it last week, berating regulators about new state fees on the funeral industry.

Acknowledging that she's a licensed funeral director, Ford complained in a legislative hearing Aug. 13 that fees are going to "eat us up and put us out of business."

She demanded regulators disclose who imposed a new $150 biannual registration fee on preneed funeral sales agents and what it's for.


Turns out that Ford and her legislative colleagues imposed the fee.
