Liar, Liar
State Rep. Rob Briley's final campaign mailing before being elected to the state legislature last fall asked voters in east Nashville whom they could trust to vote no to a state income tax. Next to a picture of the young Democrat working hard at his desk ran a sentence reading "Rob Briley opposes a state income tax." - The Tennessean, April 21, 1999, reflecting on Briley's promise to voters during the 1998 election to oppose the income tax.

Rep. Briley voted for the Naifeh income tax plan.
