Summary	This year-long, in-depth investigation reveals secrets of Tennessee's multimillion-dollar highway construction industry, including possible bid-rigging. The findings uncovered hundreds of millions of dollars being doled out in state and local highway contracts without competition, threats and intimidation being used to discourage companies from crossing into 'territory' controlled by highway contractors, and blatant manipulation of zoning laws.
