Add NPR report: Rethinking the 17th Amendment Early life, education, and careerNiceley is a native of Knox County and of the district he served in the state House of Representatives. He was raised around agriculture. After graduating from Jefferson High School, Niceley attended the University of Tennessee, where he received a bachelor's degree in soil science in 1969. Subsequently, he and his wife, Cyndie, moved their residence to neighboring Jefferson County, where he began his career as a farmer and businessman. Tennessee House of RepresentativesNiceley served in the Tennessee House from 1988 to 1992 (96th and 97th Tennessee General Assemblies). He was elected again in 2004 to serve in the 104th General Assembly, and won re-election in 2006 and 2008 to serve in the 105th and 106th General Assemblies. During his time as a State Representative, he has been a member of the House Agriculture Committee, the House Conservation and Environment Committee, House Environment Subcommittee, and the House Parks and Tourism Subcommittee. Locally, Niceley serves with the Farm Bureau, which enables financial services to farmers, and the National Rifle Association. Niceley has argued against making cockfighting a felony in Tennessee and helped defeat a bill that would have increased the $50 fine for cockfighting to $2,500, saying that cockfighting is a cultural tradition. He said: "They pay their taxes. They're not bothering anybody. I don't know what the big deal is." He also noted that cockfighting brings in tourist dollars from other states. "They buy food, they stay in hotels, they buy gas," he said.[1] Statements and controversies2009In 2009, Niceley was one of four Republican members of the Tennessee House to announce plans to join a legal action to force President Barack Obama to release his birth certificate and prove his citizenship.[2][3] 2012During a Tennessee House committee hearing in February 2012, Niceley declared that coyotes had been introduced to Tennessee by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) for purpose of controlling the wild deer population, but had subsequently become pests that attack livestock. This allegation was investigated by PolitiFact Tennessee. PolitiFact determined that coyotes had arrived in the state naturally, without any involvement by the TWRA. Stating that Niceley had repeated an "urban myth" that had been debunked previously, PolitiFact characterized his statement as a "real howler" and categorized it as "Pants On Fire", indicating a statement that "is not accurate and makes a ridiculous claim".[4] 2017Nicely rejects mainstream views of climate science. At a December, 2017 meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), he stated to E & E News reporter Zack Colman: "I think the whole premise that carbon dioxide is a pollutant is flawed," said Tennessee state Sen. Frank Niceley (R). "It's not a pollutant, it's just as natural as oxygen. The trees and plants depend on CO2 just the same way we depend on oxygen."[5] References1. ^Chattanooga Free Press, May 21, 2011. 2. ^{{Cite news| first=Theo | last=Emery| title=Four Tennessee legislators want Obama to prove citizenship| work=The Tennessean| location =Nashville| url=http://www.tennessean.com/article/20090213/NEWS02/902130368/1009/NEWS02| date=13 February 2009| accessdate=13 February 2009}}{{Dead link|date=June 2009|url=http://www.tennessean.com/article/20090213/NEWS02/902130368/1009/NEWS02}} 3. ^{{Cite news |first = Jeff |last = Woods |title = Democrats Ridicule Lawmaker for Demanding Obama's Birth Certificate |work = Nashville Scene |url = http://blogs.nashvillescene.com/pitw/2009/02/democrats_ridicule_lawmaker_fo.php |date = 13 February 2009 |accessdate = 13 February 2009 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20090215011230/http://blogs.nashvillescene.com/pitw/2009/02/democrats_ridicule_lawmaker_fo.php |archivedate = February 15, 2009 |df = mdy-all}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.politifact.com/tennessee/statements/2012/feb/23/frank-niceley/house-committee-chairman-claims-state-agency-deliv/ |title=House committee chairman claims state agency delivered coyotes to cull deer population |publisher=PolitiFact Tennessee |date=February 23, 2012}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.eenews.net/climatewire/stories/1060068569}} External links
