Katie Allison Granju poses a question based on the moves Bill Haslam is making to run for Governor:

Does the fact that the primary source of the Haslam family’s considerable wealth is gasoline sales make it less likely that Bill Haslam will offer progressive leadership on critical transportation planning and mass transit issues? Can a guy whose entire career prior to taking office consisted of trying to convince people to drive more/buy more gas offer vision for a new world and economy that will require radical transformation of the way we get around?
