NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – State House Republican Caucus Chairman
Glen Casada, a staunch opponent of Gov. Bill Haslam's proposal to
extend health coverage to 200,000 low-income Tennesseans, on Friday
decried what he called "dishonest scare tactics" by a conservative group
running radio ads targeting GOP lawmakers.
The Tennessee chapter of the Americans for Prosperity, the organization backed by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, this week began running a 60-second radio ad accusing Republican state Rep. Kevin Brooks of Cleveland of "betraying" a promise to oppose President Barack Obama's health care law.
Casada
said the groups should spend their time opposing liberal lawmakers and
"not dedicated individuals like Rep. Kevin Brooks and the other
conservative members of our Republican Caucus who have chosen to seek
additional input before making a decision on behalf of their
constituents." ...."The attack ads in districts across the state paid for by AFP are
inaccurate, ineffective, and only hurts their reputation within the
Tennessee General Assembly,"(link)
