Is that zip in the Second District? That's my zip, out here in the Powell/Karns area?
The address that Don lists comes up in District 1 under the new plan, so he would be running against Sam McKenzie. If the lawsuit that his brother has filed is successful then he would be in District 3 and will be running against Tony Norman.
Maybe Don can speak to this, but I thought he lived way out west in District 5?
New districts here
KGIS info: 3821 OAKWOOD LN Precinct: 23N
Becky, is that the final draft of Plan 3A that you linked? I ask because I looked up 3A through the Knox County website (under "Elected Offices," then under "Commission") and that map showed Precinct 23N moved from the Third District to the Second District. At the county's website, the First District doesn't figure in any redistricting of this precinct?
I note Don is presently listed on the Election Commission's record as planning to run in both the Second and the Third...
In either event, KGIS says this property at 3821 Oakwood is owned by Don's brother, Leon, not by Don. Are they roomies? Does Don rent there? Is the KGIS info out-of-date?
(Unrelated question: Why is this property the only one KGIS says is owned by Leon Daugherty, when Leon and Don said, back when Leon ran for commission from the Eighth District, that Leon was building a house out there? Didn't he have to own some land there to build a house on it?)
(And ditto what Bean said.)
Leon Daugherty owns 3 parcels of land in the 8th on Majors Road. The PIN's are
020 14904
020 14903
020 14905
The properties were purchased in November of 2005. He and his wife built a very beautiful home. I spent a great deal of time there during his run for commission.
I dunno why, Erin, but the KGIS site doesn't seem to recognize any of those three PINs?
I couldn't find any property there under the name of either Michael Leon Daugherty or Leon Daugherty (other than this one at 3821 Oakwood Lane), either?
I finally ran a search of the owner name "Daugherty," no first name, and pulled 72 files, but none of the properties pulled was on Majors Road?
Unless you're saying the data at KGIS is out-of-date by four years or more (from 2005 forward), it appears that this property isn't listed in Leon Daugherty's name?
But more to the point, Leon ran for a Third District seat (in 2002, was it?) when, as a reporter here at KnoxViews said at the time, "his wife, his dog, and his mailbox resided in the Seventh District." He claimed a Third District address (this same one, I think) that was actually his parent's home.
Then in 2008, Leon ran for an Eighth District seat (with Don as his campaign manager), acknowledged that he had not lived in that district long enough to meet the county charter's one year length of residency requirement, and still had the audacity to sue the Election Commission (with Don at his side), defying them to disqualify him from the race.
Now, in this 2010 race, a question has arisen about Don previously living somewhere in west Knoxville, yet recording on his qualifying petition an address not in west Knoxville and which KGIS reports to be not his, but his brother's (or their parents', per the phone book).
Given that Don is running for a district seat, given the questions surrounding ownership of the home at 3821 Oakwood Lane, and given the history of the nomadic Daugherty brothers, the question I'm asking Don here seems to be a reasonable one: Where does he live and how long has he lived there?
I got no dog in this fight, but I'm curious too, so I poked around KGIS. I found three pieces of property on Majors Road listed to a Michael Leon Daughtery (I assume a mispelling). They're in the 8th district. Then I found two other pieces of propety listed to Michael Leon Daugherty - both in the 3rd district.
Tony Norman is one of the best County Commissioners I have ever seen. Sam McKenzie is also excellent. I'm presuming that Don wants to give Amy a scare for endorsing Palmer's opponent, and this seems like an odd way to go about it. I've been checking and most of my neighbors are pretty happy with her representation.
with all the garbage I read I did not think anyone else felt that way....I soooo agree!
Don's brother has run a couple of times in districts other than where he lives.
...about his status as a "roomie" (or not) at 3821 Oakwood Lane.
Becky posted the version of the plan that passed. Tamara, you may be looking at an older map. 23N moves to the 1st District in the version passed by Commission.
Mark Harmon
Gotcha, Mark. FYI, it looks like the county's website is out-of-date as to maps for the final version of Plan 3A.
Don, you've peaked Tamara's curiosity, which means you're in a world of hurt.
War and Peace, volume 47.
Ah ha. I'll look under that spelling (which doesn't match the name spelling at the Election Commission for Don).
The property records have all kinds of weird spellings in them. That's why I often use the street names if I know them to do a search.
Thanks, Rachel. Yes, I found Leon's three tracts on Majors Road under the name spelling "Daughtery." It looks like the name is spelled "Daughtery" in the Property Assessor's records, too. Only the Election Commission's record reflects "Daugherty."
At the PA's site, it appears that Leon paid only one of eight PT payments on his properties on schedule over the last three years. The other seven payments were all delinquent. See Link... (and search the three addresses).
Also at that site, it looks like there wasn't any house standing at 8111 Majors Road on September 1, 2007. Leon would have had to have lived in that house from that date until his swearing-in date of September 1, 2008 to have qualified for office under the county charter's one year length of residency requirement. You'll note that the first PT assessment on the developed property is the 2009 assessment, due by February 28, 2010.
But we were talking about Don, weren't we? If it's him at 8737 Brucewood Lane in the 37923 zip code (and spelled "Daugherty," like the Election Commission spelled it), he just paid three years of delinquent PT a week or two back. Looks like he'd run a year or two behind his due date every year (use above link).
The Property Assessor's office says 8737 Brucewood Lane was *formerly* in Commission District Five. It is zoned for A. L. Lotts Elementary, West Valley Middle, and Bearden High schools.
Here we go.
That owner card at the KGIS site didn't indicate the voting precinct for the property at 8737 Brucewood Lane.
The Election Commission's site, though, places it in Precinct 69N.
According to Becky's link to Plan 3A, the address is still in Commission District Five after redistricting, too.
Side question: How the hell can you even file to run in two different political units?

According to the EC's report, Don has only named a treasuer for his campaign.
He can't actually pick up a qualifying petition until November 20.
Presumably, he will turn in only one.
