We’re excited to have Erik @schelzig and @joelebert29 at #TECAam2023 to discuss their new book Welcome to Capitol Hill: 50 Years of Scandal in Tennessee Politics.
‘A Sense of Justice,’ my biography of the late Judge Gilbert S. Merritt of Nashville, who became the chief judge of the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, will be featured at The Southern Festival of Books at noon on Oct. 22 at the new Tennessee State Museum.
Please join us!
I'm just getting started on @joelebert29 and @schelzig Welcome to Capitol Hill - I'm appreciating the opportunity to learn more about Tennessee history.
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."
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?

What has history taught us about the Tennessee General Assembly?
“The initial reaction is to always circle the wagons.”

The state attorney general’s office says the Tennesse House has banned signs for decades. A certain newly-released book on Tennessee Scandals suggests otherwise. . . .
Could Tennessee moms witnessing the “directionless shitshow” actually create change?
@joelebert29 and @schelzig explain what they saw at the Special Session.
