Round 1
First, could you convince the bank your Vacation home was more important than your mortgage?
That's about what they're doing in Shelbyville.
The latest on the Uncle Nearest Distillery drama unfolded yesterday when a judge ruled the owners Martha's Vineyard property will be sold.
The famous Tourist stop & whiskey brand previously defaulted on their over $100 million obligation to Farm Credit
And over the better part of the last year a court appointed receiver has been in charge of all the money and assets trying to dig them out of the hole
One of the assets at the center of public scrutiny was a $2.5 mllion property in Martha's Vineyard Massachusetts that the owners and their attorneys argued was vital to the business
Despite their best arguments, a judge ruled yesterday the sale will move forward.
There's currently an offer in place with 2 back ups all coming in at just under $2.6 million.
Though to me, that's still one zero too many for a home that size
The court order does clarify that any proceeds above 1st mortgages payoff CANNOT go tofarm credit—at least not until the drama is resolved.
Check out Shelbyville NOW to get the rest of the scoop.
Round 2
Now lets head on over to the other spot in Tennessee named after Isaac Shelby—Shelby County
If you recall about 6 months ago State Senator Brent Taylor had called for the TBI to investigate Tami Sawyer, giving her the nickname Tirade Tami after an incident at the courthouse
That investigation was eventually closed and no charges were brought,
Most thought that was the end of it
Well, it turns out the TBI isnt the only agency that can dig into corrupt public officials.
Brent Taylor & the US Attorney Mike Dunavant both announced yesterday that Tami Sawyer, General Sessions Court Clerk for Shelby County, had been indicted
Charges include Money laundering, theft & fraud and more
the indictment also accuses Sawyer of using a County Credit Card to do things like order Uber eats, as well as transfer money to PayPal accounts—including her own.
Local Radio Station KWAM called political candidates who received any of those funds to return them immediately while the GOP Called for her resignation.
After her initial appearance her attorney gave a press conference where he stated Ms Sawyer is NOT guilty—despite not having thoroughly read the entire indictment.
He also said that Sawyer plans to continue serving in her elected position as they fight the charges.
These charges also renew the possibility of a citizen-driven ouster.
That's 2 stories down 1 to go and tell us in the comments which Tennessee Official YOU THINK the DOJ should investigate next!
