Controversies	• In 2003, Sandy Kurtz (environmental educator), filed a lawsuit against Corker as Osborne Enterprises (an affiliate of the real estate company Corker Group) sold protected wetlands near South Chickamauga Creek in Chattanooga to Wal-Mart for $4.6 million. However, the lawsuit was dismissed on July 15, 2003. In 2006, during Corker's Senate campaign, Kurtz filed a second lawsuit. However, on October 13, 2006, lawyers involved in the case announced a settlement agreement. • During his tenure as Mayor of Chattanooga, he was criticized for placing his Hamilton County real estate holdings and businesses into a blind trust to avoid conflicts of interest. However, on October 11, 2006, The Commercial Appeal reported that Corker's Blind Trust "may not have been all that blind." • In 2014, he was criticized for making a statement in connection to Volkswagon manufacturing.
