[Welcome to Capitol Hill @TNScandals]

It's not like Tennessee has ever been home to one of the country's largest bank collapses. Oh wait, there's a chapter about that in "Welcome to Capitol Hill."

[Adam Friedman @friedmanadam5]

The Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions has a blanket policy to block all records requests, even simple ones about what banks and payday lenders the public is filing the most complaints about.

Leaving the question: What are they hiding?
