Tennessee political clash over Patterson patters tax, mercy, and reform
A fiery critique targets Gov. Patterson's administration, accusing him of taking credit for schools and finances while mismanaging the treasury, boosting prison payrolls, and wielding clemency for murderers and criminals. The speaker contrasts Patterson with prior governors, cites budget gaps, school funding, and railroad rate disputes, and calls for accountability before Tennessee voters.
