A top elected official in Nashville hired both his children for Metro jobs that were never advertised.

It's the latest revelation from the Channel 4 I-Team investigation into Davidson County Criminal Court Clerk David Torrence.

The I-Team's hidden camera showed Torrence away from the office several days a week, doing yard work, golfing or running personal errands with his Metro car. Torrence said he works only three days a week and doesn't deny being out of the office for half of last year.

Torrence didn't just hire his sons without advertising the openings; he hired them to replace veteran employees and paid his sons those veterans' salaries.

>>”Do you think there is anything questionable about a person in your position, hiring his own sons, for jobs that taxpayers pay for. Is there anything questionable about that to you?” asked Finley.

“No,” Torrence said.

Well, a parent’s role is to provide for his children.

I watched this in utter amazement. His SCHEDULE is 3 days a week. Plus they busted him at the Liquor Store which is a no-no in government provided vehicles.

His only defense was he does nothing wrong and he’s been elected 5 times. I’ll bet that is over.
