As we told you yesterday, Dem Rep. Harold Ford Jr. has a new ad slamming GOP opponent Bob Corker for "freezing the pay of Chattanooga’s police and firefighters." Calling it "100 percent verifiably false," the Corker campaign was quick to dispute the ad. So, the Nashville City Paper examined the city budget ordinances for Chattanooga during the years Corker was mayor, only to find that the pay of police officers and firefighters had increased each year Corker served. Sorry Mr. Ford, but it seems some smears are just too good to be true.
