Write In Amy

I was pleased to be on hand at Edgewood Park as Amy Broyles announced her write-in challenge to Billy Tindell. As you may know, both commissioners from this district sued to wipe out the county charter so both could avoid term limits. Now Amy and I are the team to "Wipe the Slate Clean." Pictured are the announcement, me with Jim Andrews and Emily Singer, a sleeping Avery (Amy's youngest), and me giving a ride to Amy's daughter Aidyn.

The public anger about term limits (and how David Collins, Billy Tindell, and others avoided them) is the lead story in today's Knoxville News-Sentinel. To quote from the article by Scott Barker:

"They have called. They have written. And, boy, are they mad. 'They' are the residents of Knox County, and they haven't been shy about registering their complaints about the charter fiasco that threatens to scuttle ordinances and torpedo term limits."
