Next, will the FBI investigation into the Haslam family's chain of truck stops hurt the governor's re-election chances? The governor's associates say Bill Haslam hasn't really been active at Pilot Flying J since he stepped down as president in 2002. But Democrats say Haslam's decision to roll back financial disclosure rules for himself after taking office was a mistake. Haslam says it's been so long since he worked at Pilot that he doesn't know many of the people involved in the FBI affidavit. Nevertheless, a recent news story indicates otherwise. An article in the Tennessean identified 10 Pilot executives in the affidavit who gave a total of $56,000 dollars to Haslam in campaign contributions.
