This month's trial of former state Sen. John Ford on corruption charges could last up to a month.Ford is accused of taking $800,000 in consultant payments from TennCare contractors to promote those private companies' interests with the state's expanded Medicaid program.Ford was known for his flashy attire when he was a lawmaker. On Monday he was led into court in a dark green jumpsuit with his hands cuffed behind his back.He was convicted earlier this year of taking $55,000 in bribes during the unrelated federal Tennessee Waltz investigation and is serving a 5 1/2 year sentence.
Nowhere in the body of the story is Mr. Ford's political affiliation. So I throw it to the masses.
What party is he?
Hint... He's related to former US congressman Harold Ford, Jr. which is also conveniently not mentioned.
