Briley Update: Ethics
AC scores a major scoop on Rob Briley (Briley background here):
Looking at Rob Briley’s police report you will find an interesting name at the bottom. Under the spot reserved for “nearest relative” is the name Mary Littlon and a telephone number.
The number matches the cell phone number of a registered lobbyist for the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association, one Mary Littleton.
Turns out, having a lobbyist as your personal lawyer doesn’t violate ethics laws. Governor Bredesen has called on Briley to resign.
