Remember when Julia Hurley said she didn't have to worry about not having any experience, the lobbyists will tell her what to do? Well it turns out that Bill Haslam has the same plan.

Tom Ingram ran Bill Haslam's campaign for governor. He is a political kingmaker, who also ran the campaigns of both U.S. Senators from Tennessee.

So what does this mean to you and me? Turns out The Ingram Group represents the Governor and is also lobbying this:

As NewsChannel 5 Investigates first reported, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) is considering a multimillion-dollar proposal from Crossville Coal that would allow the company to mine under a state wild-life area...

NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked, "When the Ingram Group shows up, how do they know they are not talking to somebody representing the governor?"

"Well, if I'm there," Ingram answered, "I make it very clear on whose behalf I am there, and whose behalf I am not there."

"So it can be switched on and off?" we asked.

Ingram said, "What can be switched on and off?"

"One minute you can be consulting for the governor and the next minute you can lobby?"
