Politics / Woods Tennessee Regulatory Authority Director Defends Pat Robertson on Haiti
Posted by Jeff Woods on Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 8:18 AM
"And so for CNN or anyone else to pull this and say he doesn't like the Haitian people or to infer that he's a crazy man, you're wrong! He has a opinion, he stated his opinion. What's yours? You can state yours..."It was only a matter of time before Hill, an appointee of Senate speaker Ron Ramsey, stepped in it. He's the owner of a far-right religious radio station in Upper East Tennessee. His son, Matthew, is a state representative and proud Obama birther. He's also the lawmaker who wants to defend our state sovereignty by making it illegal to build a Mexico-to-Canada highway through Tennessee. Kenneth Hill was substituting as host on his son's wacky show when he defended Robertson. Ramsey appointed Hill to the Tennessee Regulatory Authority, even though Hill knew absolutely nothing about the job, to cozy up to the Christian Right whose support the lieutenant governor needs in his campaign for governor. Now, Ramsey will have to decide whether to defend the guy who defended Pat Robertson.

Ron Ramsey = Boss Hogg
Kenneth Hill = Rosco Coltrane
Matthew Hill = Cooter and or Daisy (wink wink)
I picture Ron Ramsey's campaign add looking and sounding exactly like the beginning of "The Dukes of Hazard". Jumping cars, shootin' arrows, and spreading hate and fear all across Tennessee, one book burning at a time.
Nice company you keep Lt. Governor, real real nice.
Actually, Tennessee Regulatory Authority Director Kenneth C. Hill only owns 51% of his for-profit Information Communications Corporation, Inc. d.b.a. WPWT 870 AM WHGG et al - the 501(c)(3) tax exempt Appalachian Educational Communication Corporation d.b.a. as WHCB 91.5 FM (Director Hill serves as both the President of the AECC and controls 11% of the AECC board vote and his wife Janet another 11%) owns 49% of Hill's for-profit ICC.
The 501(c)(3) tax exempt AECC sold Hill's for-profit ICC two radio stations for $250,000 (only requiring that Rev. Ken put down a $1,000 deposit) and then provided AECC President Kenneth C. Hill with a $249,000 loan to cover the balance.
