Rep. Matthew Hill: Lateral Promotion As "Vice President of Information Communications Corporation"
Perhaps it is necessary to comment on the Biography page of Rep. Matthew Hill's "Matthew Hill: Tennessee State Representative" campaign web site, particularly about Hill working "...as Vice-President of Operations for the Appalachian Radio Group ... of the Information Communications Corporation." As late as 2003, Matthew Hill was listed as a "Key Employee" (as was AECC CFO and State of Franklin PAC Treasurer A.G. "Bud" Branscomb) on the "Return of Organizations Exempt From Income Tax" Form 990 filed with the Internal Revenue Service by the 501(c)(3) tax exempt Appalachian Educational Communication Corporation (EIN 52-1221965).
According to the AECC 2003 Form 990, Matthew Hill's salary at the EO (exempt organization) was then $36,125 and fellow AECC Key Employee A.G. "Bud" Branscomb compensation was listed at $39,083.
Records on file with the Federal Communications Commission also reveal that 501(c)(3) tax exempt Appalachian Educational Communication Corporation owns a 49% ownership of Information Communications Corporation. You might also notice the listing of the Appalachian Radio Group stations at Hill's Bio web page that the station call letters for "The Mighty 1090" are not listed --- WHGG also happens to be an acronym for "Heralding God's Graces" (in a manner similar to the WHCB "Heralding Christ's Blessings") as used by the Hill's "The Mighty 1090" before Matthew's "Motown, Soul, and Rock n' Roll" reformatting of the WHGG 1090 AM radio station.
Station ownership records for WABN, WHGG, and WPWT on file with the Federal Communications Commission clearly show that ownership or these stations were transferred from the non-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt Appalachian Educational Communication Corporation and to Dr. Kenneth C. Hill's for-profit Information Communications Corporation. However, the Internal Revenue Code requires that "assets of an [501(c)(3)] exempt organization must be permanently dedicated to an exempt purpose".

Hill is a damn carptbagging Yankee.
He used to talk on his radio show that he was born in Indiana.
Hills motto should be,
"American by Birth, Yankee by the Grace of God"
7th Generation Tennessean my posterior!!!
The Appalachian Educational Communication Corporation Application For Recognition of Exemption Form 1023 filed with the Internal Revenue Service and postmarked way back on July 10, 1981 gives an address for both Kenneth C. and Janet Hill of "4602 Euclid Avenue, Fort Wayne, IN 48806" and a Fort Wayne telephone number as well...
I suppose that this "7th generation statement" refers to the fact(I mean his father Dr. Kenneth C. Hill stated on his various FCC ownership records under penalty of law that he is, in fact, "Native American") that Matthew Hill is perhaps a Yankee-Native American Tennessean...funny (or sad) how Matthew never talked about his own Native American hertiage during his seven years as the WPWT 870 AM "Good Morning Tri-Cities" host.
What did the Kentuckian do when a Hoosier threw a stick of dynamite across the Ohio River? He lit it and threw it back.
I think Hill was the Hoosier Indian that inspired this joke.
