For the second time in two weeks the Van Hilleary for Governor campaign is disputing allegations by Phil Bredesen’s campaign that Hilleary has ducked out of a joint appearance.

Two weeks ago Bredesen campaigners alleged that Hilleary had been invited to an appearance at a skeet shooting facility in Oak Ridge but had decided to pull out just days before the event. Hilleary’s campaign spokesperson Jennifer Coxe responded by saying Hilleary had never even been invited to that event.
