Blount County resident Mark Pulliam alerted The Tennessee Conservative to the new hire stating that, “the notorious Ted Boyatt, the thuggish Nashville lobbyist wannabe, has been hired by the legislature as an analyst.”
According to Tennessee Stands founder Gary Humble, House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville-District 75) made the hiring decision.
Boyatt is listed on the General Assembly website under “Research Staff.”
