No Appointments!

Knox County is fast approaching another
pride stripping government official appointment
ceremony. Don't you think that this whole
situation could have been avoided with a
special election earlier this year? They didn't
want it then and they certainly don't want it now.
MOST, and I emphasize most, of these guys won
their seats in elections with name recognition and
they figure that if we can read their name in the
news for the next year that they will get elected on
that same premise once again. The only reason
Sharon Cawood would even think of asking for a
reappointment to her seat is that she beleives that
if people see her name enough she might have a chance
in an election. I am not going to look for an appointment
because they are going to do it the same way they did
before, but the difference is they have had time to find
the friends that they want in those seats and have been
able to organize their efforts and get others on board.
Yep...you can bet that those appointed will be friends
or maybe even family of those who are so comfortable in
their current seats. The election is the only way to fix this
and I will be turning in my qualifying petition next week.
I support the recall amendment! We should have a firm
grip on the leash of our government officials, All of them.
