In the Senate race in Georgia, which is headed for
a run-off early next month, one key issue that has emerged in the past week is that
the incumbent, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, is fighting a subpoena that would make him
answer questions related to his relationships with corporate executives from a
company that owns a Sugar plant that exploded earlier this year. Chambliss scolded
a whistleblower testifying before the Senate in July about a lack of safety precautions
at the plant. From the AP:
Savannah
attorney Mark Tate - who calls himself a "partisan Democrat" - has
subpoenaed Chambliss to submit to questions Thursday about whether Imperial
Sugar executives enlisted him to help the company avoid blame in the Feb. 7
explosion that killed 14 workers and injured dozens more.
Tate
says he wants to know if Imperial Sugar executives persuaded Chambliss to
sharply criticize a company whistleblower during a July Senate hearing on the
explosion. He says he also wants the senator to respond to plaintiffs' claims
that the company arranged a meeting between Chambliss and victims' families to
dissuade them from suing.
