Haslam, McMinn Co. mayor return from Japan trip
Governor Bill Haslam returned to Tennessee Saturday after taking his first trip to Japan as governor.
Haslam went to Japan as a part of the Southeast U.S./Japan Association. The group, which includes governors and local officials from other southeastern states like Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina, meets with Japanese business leaders to discuss potential partnerships and opportunity.
The meetings have taken place for 35 years, each one swapping between locations in Tokyo, Japan and Mississippi.
