NewsChannel 5 Investigates: Revealed

WTVF-TV Nashville & Phil Williams

Special interests spend estimated an $60 million every year to influence Tennessee state officials - on everything from liquor licenses to charter schools. The "Revealed" investigation shined a light on how Capitol Hill really works, giving viewers unprecedented insight into a legislative process where Tennessee’s supermajority depends on well-financed special interests to maintain power and, in turn, often does the bidding of those special interests.

That effort has resulted in more than 50 individual stories and a one-hour documentary.
