Chambliss faces subpoena

U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss has been subpoenaed to answer questions about whether a sugar company enlisted him to escape blame in a deadly explosion at a Georgia refinery. Savannah attorney Mark Tate is representing four workers killed in the February 7th explosion in Port Wentworth near Savannah. Tate says his clients claim Chambliss tried to talk them out of suing the company. The subpoena comes just before the Nov. 4 election in which Chambliss is in a close race with Democrat Jim Martin.
