SAVANNAH, Ga. AP – A Savannah attorney wants to question Sen. Saxby Chambliss about whether Imperial Sugar enlisted the Republican lawmaker to help the company avoid blame in the deadly explosion at its Georgia refinery.
Attorney Mark Tate, who is suing Imperial Sugar on behalf of two injured workers and the families of two employees killed in the blast, subpoenaed Chambliss to testify on Thursday – five days before the Nov. 4 election in which the senator faces Democrat Jim Martin.
