Tennessee's Tax battles

Tennessee's Tax battles are reviewed in this article from The American Prowler:

But the story is not over. "They'll be back," says Valentine, and it seems the next chapter will be especially poisonous, largely due to acrimony surrounding the death of State Representative Keith Westmoreland.

The trouble began when Westmoreland, a pro-tax legislator, was arrested in Florida for indecent exposure. According to authorities, Westmoreland has flashed his privates at some girls at a swimming pool, and for his trouble he was deeply ridiculed by Valentine and Gill. Sadly, Westmoreland shot himself. Suddenly the talk show hosts found themselves in crosshairs of a different sort.

"One local commentator said I'd gone beyond the pale by calling him a pervert," says Valentine.

Typical 'unbiased reporting' in Tennessee. Don't blame the pervert, blame the guy who pointed it out.

Yeeesh.
