Nissan Whistleblower Applauds TN GOP for Scrutinizing Spending, Will Attend RNC Debate in DC as a Voice of the Disenfranchised Moderate

Sharyn Bovat, the relocation consultant to Nissan board member Carlos Tavares, will be attending the RNC debate at the National Press Club in the nation's capital tomorrow. She'll also spend time in DC seeking publicity for what she calls "a battle for human decency against a Good ole Boy network." Bovat has been jailed 3 times after she became a whistle blower (Court Case # gsc3714). In an interview with Coolsprings.com after her first arrest Bovat said she was arrested in retaliation for telling Carlos Tavares about problems at Nissan. Since June 4th 2009 Bovat has blogged about discrimination and wasteful spending of taxpayer money. Bovat a former republican research worker became a democrat in the mid nineties recently rejoined the Republican Party after the Tennessee GOP made a public stance on the need to monitor spending of taxpayer money given to corporations. Bovat a fiscal conservative and social moderate will launch a new blog http://www.respecttherino.com On January 4th to be a voice of those in the party that are considered political centrist.


Franklin, TN (PRWEB) January 3, 2011

Sharyn Bovat, the middle Tennessee relocation consultant assigned to manage the move of Nissan board member Carlos Tavares in spring of 2009 (Court Case # gsc3714), was first arrested in July 2009 at the Nissan North America headquarters. Bovat says, “The arrest was in retaliation for my whistle blowing because I told Carlos Tavares about a ‘Good Ole Boy network' that dominated Nissan Human Resources.” Bovat claims discrimination against women and other problems she told Mr. Tavares about are being addressed and recently published a new global code of conduct. Bovat attributes the changes to her whistle blowing.

According to a recent article in the Tennessean the state of Tennessee spent millions relocating NISSAN and other companies to TN and some of the funds were given without oversight. Now Tennessee GOP legislatures are asking for transparency of the spending of taxpayer money. This is good news for Sharyn Bovat who has complained of bad spending of taxpayer money given to Nissan to relocate its corporate HQ to Tennessee.

In an interview with Coolsprings.com Bovat says that she asked Nissan HR if certain spending was OK and was told it was by HR. Bovat gave us an example of frivolous spending saying “In 2008 I was asked to find a spa for a VP to have oxygen facials and I thought that was a bad use of taxpayer money.”
