Tennessee Governor Looks Into PR Contract

According to PR Fuel, Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen, is not very happy. Apparently, a $400K state PR contract may have been given to a friend of State Tourism Commissioner, Whitaker.

Bredesen has asked for a complete review of the contract and has involved the state's attorney general in the matter.

Knoxville public relations executive Cathy Ackermann received the contract in question. Ackermann worked on Bredesen's advisory committee before he took office. Whitaker, meanwhile, is one of Bredesen's few Republican appointees.
