Former House Speaker and convicted felon Glen Casada was instrumental in passing Gov. Bill Lee’s initial, limited school voucher scheme.
Then, he got in some legal trouble. Now, he’s been pardoned by President Trump.
Speaking of questionable leadership, word out of D.C. this week is that former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his chief aide Cade Cothren will receive presidential pardons from Donald Trump.
The pair were convicted on more than a dozen public corruption charges tied to a scheme where they, along with former Rep. Robin Smith (R-Hixson), defrauded taxpayers through a state-funded legislative mailer program. They were just weeks away from prison.
