Frank Cagle

In case you missed it on Christmas Eve, the News Sentinel had a special gift for readers. Frank Cagle debuted as an op-ed page columnist for the newspaper.

His column will appear every Wednesday opposite the editorial page, beside long-time columnist Ina Hughs.

As he proclaimed in his first column, Cagle is an avowed libertarian. He also is a former MetroPulse columnist, News Sentinel managing editor and aide to Victor Ashe when he was mayor of Knoxville.
