GRAY — Former Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey noted Tuesday his first year as a lobbyist has seen him move from 24-year lawmaker to point man for the Tri-Cities Crossing development. Ramsey said he advocated a five-year extension of the border region legislation that allows tax revenues to go back into the development. Tri-Cities Crossing has been recruiting Stone Drive car dealerships to create an auto mall concept at the development located at the intersection of Interstates 81 and 26. “After solving problems in state government for 24 years, I’m getting paid for it,” Ramsey, a Realtor and auctioneer, said during the annual Northeast Tennessee Association of Realtors (NETAR) legislative luncheon.
