The New South - Bipartisan, Racially Diverse Corruption Indictments
I misremembered Representative Harold Ford's relationship to State Senator John Ford earlier in the month, but I have high hopes that today's news won't help. I like Mr. Hobbs' headline, too -- NEWSFLASH: Passel of Legislators Arrested!
At least two and possibly three members of the Tennessee legislature were arrested hauled out of Legislative Plaza in handcuffs this morning and my sources indicate it may be based on allegations that they accepted money to sponsor legislation.Even better news -- there's a member of the Hamilton Country school board involved -- my mother's least favorite elected group in the world lately.
By the way, this is a bipartisan and racially diverse scandal. See how far we've come in the New South?
update: I couldn't resist changing the title to what appears now. My heart swells with pride in the progress of the New South . . . .
