TN-SEN: Corker Plagued By Old Wal-Mart Lawsuit

There's trouble afoot for GOP Senate candidate Bob Corker -- the Memphis Commercial Appeal is reporting that a local Nashville lawyer has succeeded in reviving an old lawsuit over Corker's private companies on a big Wal-Mart project:

A Nashville lawyer pursuing [the] suit says he's bothered by records that show how a Corker real estate company collected $4.6 million by selling the Wal-Mart land just weeks after Corker's public works administrator signed off on a construction easement.

Responding, Corker campaign manager Ben Mitchell said the Wal-Mart was approved in a transparent, open process involving several local, state and federal agencies, much of it occurring before Corker became mayor in April 2001.
