The Fish Rots From The Head Down
More bad news for Sundquist: The feds and the TBI are investigating whether sweetheart insider contracts granted by the Sundquist administration to friends of the governor violate any laws.

NewsChannel5's investigative reporter, Phil Williams, has produced a series of damning reports about how some close friends of the governor have received millions of dollars in state government contracts outside the normal bid process. In once case, a Chattanooga company, Workforce Strategists, that had only existed on paper for six days, got a multi-million contract without bidding. And, as Williams recently revealed, a member of the governor's Cabinet (Alex Fischer) held a financial stake in a company that got all its money from TennCare.

No wonder the governor is hiding from reporters.
