Son, can you spare a ride?
The state stopped offering free golf to its former governors, and I think it should do the same when it comes to free rides for past top executives. Providing transportation to official events and when safety considerations require an escort is fine. Otherwise, this is an unnecessary expense for taxpayers and, as noted in the paper, at least the appearance of cronyism. The Tennessee Highway Patrol has more than its share of such appearances already, though more is being done to address that in recent years than ever before.
