The federal government has given the state of Tennessee millions of dollars for ad campaigns promoting highway safety - Brickbats - Brief Article

Reason,  Oct, 2003  by Charles Oliver

The federal government has given the state of Tennessee millions of dollars for ad campaigns promoting highway safety. Where has the money gone? Well, $40,000 of it was spent on bobblebead dolls of forward Scott Hartnell that were given away to fans of Nashville's National Hockey League team, the Predators.

The state also paid $22,000 for plastic fangs and ponied up $100,000 to sponsor the Predators' "Smashville" season theme.
