Following calls from Democratic and Republican leaders for an independent investigation of Bredesen's Watergate, the Safety Commissioner Dave Mitchell has a simple excuse for not allowing the feds to investigate. He's too proud. Brad Schrade has it in black and white:
Safety Commissioner Dave Mitchell, whose agency includes the THP, was asked why he did not ask an outside agency to investigate to avoid the perception problems that may come with his investigators handling the inquiry.
"It's called pride," Mitchell said. "I have a lot of faith and confidence in the people that can conduct this investigation fairly. The books will be opened at the end of this if it doesn't rise to a criminal prosecution."
