FRANKLIN — Elizabeth "Liz" Rich is a mom on the go.
On a cold November day, the mother of four went to the Williamson County Recreation Center to work out. When she went to the child-care room to pick up her 8-month-old daughter, she was asked to fill out some paperwork.
Rich, 33, decided to nurse her baby while she filled out the forms.
"They told me, 'You can't breast-feed in here. It's the policy of the rec center,' " Rich said. "They told me to go into a bathroom. I was kind of mad about it and starting to think it's not right." Rich called Williamson County Mayor Rogers Anderson about the issue.
County officials have since said that breast-feeding will be allowed in any county building. "No one had ever asked us about this before," Anderson said.
