The Knox County Charter Review Committee finished up their work last night. One of the amendments they proposed to the Charter is to make the Law Director a position appointed by the County Mayor. This position is currently an elected position. I was there again last night to speak at the last public hearing beforeContinue reading “To Elect or Appoint The Knox County Law Director”

Aside from my own race, there are a number of interesting races on the ballot on August 6. I pulled the Democratic primary ballot, which comes with the Knox County general election ballot. I think there are also some interesting races in the Republican primaries. So why not weigh in? In the case of theContinue reading “Who I Would Vote For In Knox County – August 6, 2020 Edition”

It’s time for the final financial disclosure before the election, which is on August 6. This one is the pre-general report and runs from July 1, 2020 through July 27, 2020.

This morning at 9:30 a.m. EST, I was on TV for the 4th time in my life. That I know of. I spoke about the first time I was on TV during my second appearance. That was this past February when I recorded my “Equal Time” segment on Community Television here in Knoxville. That wasContinue reading “A Little About My Appearance On WBIR’s Inside Tennessee”

It’s been a busy couple of weeks of budget talk in Knox County. First, Knox County Schools put out their proposed budget. You can read about it here in the local media. The Knox County Schools page also has some info. The headline is about $4.4 million in cuts, including some job losses, furloughs, andContinue reading “Two Cents”

Geez, that title sounds like a boring cozy mystery or something. But, no, it’s where I was speaking and what I was speaking about on this past Thursday. The Knox County Charter says that a Charter Review Committee must be constituted every eight years in order to determine the desirability of amendments to the Charter.Continue reading “The Knox County Charter Review Committee And The Law Director”

I’ve got a few little blurbs I wanted to get out, so I thought I would just throw them down here. I was really disappointed to see that Knox County Sheriff Spangler renewed the KCSO’s involvement in ICE’s 287(g) program for another year. I strongly believe this program is bad for the country and forContinue reading “Campaign Miscellany – Middle Of May Edition”
