Tim Chavez wants to see more investigative reporting of the deals our Governor makes to bring jobs and economic development to the state:

It is most troubling that Tennessee’s major news media still have not learned one thing about watching out for the public interest when it comes to big deals negotiated by Gov. Phil Bredesen and his lemming proteges.

The media celebrated Chattanooga’s landing of the VW plant, and the number of jobs. But the media allowed Bredesen and local officials to get away with not saying how much money the state and locality were spending to get the plant. They get to say they did not have the information.
