as. what do you figure Tennesee should do? You said...."Ohio will now turn democrat.".... Hey maybe ford could move operations to Ohio? Breaking news - Sen. John Ford May 11, 2005 blogs.knoxnews.com UPDATE: NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Sen. John Ford has been fined $10,000 for spending campaign money on his daughter’s wedding. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — State Sen. John Ford says it was legal to spend campaign money on his daughter’s wedding because roughly one-third of the attendees lived in his Senate district. "I did this, in part, because I was aware other public officials had used campaign funds to finance a wedding anniversary or purchase automobiles for family members when those items were being used, in part, for campaign purposes," Ford argued Wednesday in an affidavit filed with the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance. The powerful Memphis Democrat did not attend the hearing Wednesday in person. He is accused of inappropriately spending thousands of campaign dollars on the 2003 wedding. Ford faces a possible penalty of $10,000 for each instance of campaign spending deemed inappropriate, registry Executive Director Drew Rawlins said. The hearing was separate from other ethical complaints against Ford. He’s also being investigated by the Senate Ethics Committee, various state agencies and a Memphis grand jury regarding his business dealings with TennCare, the state’s expanded Medicaid program.
