Imagine being arrested on two felony charges, and then convincing the criminal court clerk to remove your name from their database so no one would know about your arrest or charges. Not even the District Attorney could locate you in a search for your case. That was the reality for a Brentwood woman, who convinced Julius Sloss of Howard Gentry’s office to redact her name, and replace it with unsearchable initials. When Scoop: Nashville began to inquire about the special treatment, things quickly changed.

Power Poll CEO Bruce Dobie unable to pay employees; refused to let female attend meetings, citing ‘good old boys club’ — per lawsuit
Bruce Dobie, the sole member and creator of Power Poll, LLC, is being sued in Davidson County Chancery Court by a former employee who says the Nashville entrepreneur hired her with a quarter-million-dollar yearly salary and then abruptly fired her and others a few months later after he could no longer make payroll. Her job was to grow the company as Chief Operating/Chief Revenue Officer, however, she says Dobie would not allow her to attend meetings with potential investors because she was a woman and “Nashville is a good ole boys club” where “women are not usually allowed”, according to a quoted statement in the complaint. Despite repeated complaints about sexual discrimination, she says Dobie never addressed the issue.
Her employment contract states she’s entitled to a full twelve-month severance package, but she says Dobie won’t — or can’t — pay up.
