Hayden Rogers, chief of staff in Shuler's congressional office, said the lawmaker "wouldn't have used any position he has in Congress to influence TVA or anyone else." Asked if Shuler has ever discussed the matter with the agency, Rogers said, "Not that I'm aware of."

Shuler was elected to Congress in November 2006 and, according to documents provided by the development group, efforts to obtain the access rights for Blackberry Cove predate his election by more than a year.

move along folks, there's nothing to see here.
