Bredesen, Admininstration Hit with RICO Lawsuit

There's big news of a potentially serious lawsuit against the Bredesen administration - alleging RICO violations in its internal TennCare-related decision-making a few years back from blogger Sharon Cobb, who first exposed many of the documents at the heart of the lawsuit on her blog and in her documentary film 323,000, more than two years ago. The lawsuit was filed 12 days ago in Davidson County Chancery Court but hasn't yet been mentioned in the Nashville media. Sharon's blog has the docket number.

You can watch 323,000 on YouTube.

And, yes, I do find it amusing that well-known Nashville lawyer John Herbison apparently reads my blog.

Update: This is the blog post that Herbison references on page 22 of the lawsuit.
